Answer to Question 1

A
Researchers expect women to make up the majority of centenarians in the future.
Gerontologists expect dementia to be common among older adults, but they are not predicting most centenarians will have dementia. Malnutrition is common among older adults, but re-searchers have not predicted that most centenarians will be malnourished. Decreased mobility is common among older adults, but researchers have not predicted that most centenarians will be confined to a wheelchair.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the needs of the older adults, and this in-tervention helps maintain the therapeutic plan, thereby addressing the need for physiological in-tegrity. Furthermore, the nurse maintains continuity of care by preparing a medication schedule to prevent missed doses of medication. Providing safety and security from the storm is Maslow's second most basic need.
In emergency conditions, the nurse provides basic care relating to safety, security, and physical well-being. Maintaining a sense of belonging is important but not in emergency conditions. A state of emergency is not the time to develop self-esteem; meeting safety, security, and physical needs are more important.
