Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
The OASIS was implemented to provide the format for a comprehensive assessment, which forms the basis for planning care and measuring patient outcomesbased quality improvement (OBQI) (CMS, 2011). As with all other documentation systems, OASIS is used to improve both the quality of care and the communication about the individual and serve as a guide for reim-bursement. The OASIS assessment does not evaluate the level of patient disability; however, a portion of the assessment addresses the functional capabilities of the patient to perform activities of daily living.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E, F

a. a. Correct. Older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) can benefit from regular exercise as demonstrated by more positive affect and mood, improved function, and less disability. Suitable exercises for older adults with AD include exercises to improve balance.
b. b. Incorrect. Endurance, strength, and balance exercises help to improve patients with AD more than walking.
c. c. Incorrect. Self-paced exercises are unlikely to be suitable for a patient with AD be-cause of cognitive dysfunction.
d. d. Correct. Exercises to improve endurance are suitable for an older adult with AD.
e. e. Correct. Exercises for muscle strength are suitable for an older adult with AD.
f. f. Correct. Research data support the claim that exercise programs lasting 16 weeks can help to improve function and mood of older adults with AD.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
