Answer to Question 1

C
Any aspect of the patient's current and past physical and psychological condition can be impor-tant in designing the exercise program to suit the patient. Fitness tests such as the ETT are war-ranted in older adults who are beginning a moderately intense or vigorous exercise program. The ETT is not recommended for the frail older adult. Expensive training programs are not usually needed. Although aerobic capability must be carefully observed, PFTs, specifically, are not ne-cessary unless pulmonary function is a parameter that the therapeutic program is targeting for improvement.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Inappropriate sexual behavior may be triggered by unmet intimacy needs or may be symptoms of an underlying physical problem, such as a urinary tract or vaginal infection. Encouraging family and friends to touch, hug, kiss, and hold hands when visiting may help meet the patient's touch and intimacy needs and decrease inappropriate sexual behavior.
