Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Each patient is a unique individual and should be evaluated as such as evidenced by the right to make decisions that meet individual needs and preferences. The remaining interventions are not unique to the older people nor do they best address the issue of personal autonomy and preferences.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Older women who do not understand the physical changes that affect sexual activity become concerned that their sex life is approaching its natural conclusion with the onset of meno-pause. A major nursing role is to provide information about these changes, as well as appro-priate assessment and counseling within the context of the individual's needs. The remaining options do not have the primary impact that effective education has on the client's under-standing of the impact menopause will have.
