Answer to Question 1

A
Parkinson's disease is mostly found in men. Responses B, C, and D are true.

Answer to Question 2

D
The purpose of this question is to focus the student on the numerous nursing interventions that need to be used for an elderly adult to administer personal medications successfully. Containers for the drugs may need to be changed to something the older adult can open and read. Poisonous substances may need to be labeled in large letters and placed in a location removed from the medications because the older adult may be unable to determine the danger from the taste of the poison. Self-administration of medications calls for very safety-conscious and creative nursing management.
