Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
All the correct options address the patient's right to make an informed decision regarding health care issues by using various advance directives. The patient does not need to discuss end-of-life choices with the staff in order to exercise the right to self-determination.

Answer to Question 2

A
Many serious consequences are the result of the interaction of physical and psychosocial factors in the older patient. Although the other options have some degree of truth to them, the most comprehensive answer is the one that relates aging to response to trauma.
