Answer to Question 1

B
By listening to and consulting with older adults, the nurse develops an understanding of the val-ues and perceptions that guide older adults' thoughts and feelings about life. The nurse forms partnerships with older adults to defend and promote their rights. The other options are nice to know but not required to be an advocate.

Answer to Question 2

A
The resident care plan is routinely reviewed quarterly.
