Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D
Positive functional consequences can result from automatic actions or purposeful interventions. Older adults bring about positive functional consequences (also called wellness outcomes) when they compensate for age-related changes and risk factors, such as cataracts and chronic conditions. Nurses help older adults achieve positive functional consequences by teaching about health promotion interventions to improve functioning and quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Within the Functional Consequences Theory, wellness is a central concept that encompasses more than the older adult's level of physiologic function. Most problems affecting older adults are attributable to risk factors, even though age-related changes are indeed relevant and inevitable. Functional consequences can usually be addressed by nursing interventions, and holistic care is not an alternative to Functional Consequences Theory, but rather a component of the theory.
