Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Original handmade aids suited for the individual's unique needs may have a value equal to or greater than commercially prepared ones. Audio recording is of little benefit to the older person with a hearing problem. A computer presentation may overwhelm the older learner. The print on a commercial pamphlet may appear minute to older eyes.

Answer to Question 3

D
Collection of subjective data includes noting patient complaints of influenza-like symptoms with recurrent fever, undue fatigue, chest pain, and chills. Objective data may reveal the significant signs of petechiae in the conjunctiva and mouth. Both subjective data and objective data are indicative of infective endocarditis.
