Answer to Question 1

C
The older adult may demonstrate depression as a result of separation anxiety entering the hospital.

Answer to Question 2

A
The patient goal would be to improve airway clearance. Coughing more frequently within 3 days and performing deep-breathing exercises four times daily do not directly relate to the problem of thick secretions. Breathing better within three days is too vague.
