Answer to Question 1

B, C
Feedback:
Spirituality and perceived support and relationships are central components of the holistic model. Physical assessment components are undeniably necessary but are not indicative of the holistic model.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
An older adult's target heart rate should be identified and not exceeded by more than 10 beats per minute. A resting heart rate in a healthy older adult of 75 beats per minute does not necessarily preclude an exercise program. An exercise regimen should encompass all three domains, not just one, and workouts should not be more intense for older adults than for younger adults.
