Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Most aging adults live in their own homes and are able to care for their own needs independently. For aging adults with manageable conditions, the current trend in healthcare is to provide needed care in the client's home. To some degree, measures such as financial aid, Medicaid, food stamps, and rental and fuel assistance, help aging adults to remain in their homes.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Many reasons exist for taking nurse refresher courses. The nurse may have stopped working for some time to pursue further education, travel, or raise a family. Refresher courses are a good idea when nurses have not been actively employed in nursing for several years. In addition, the nurse whose license lapses or is revoked or who is on inactive licensure status for some time may be required to take a refresher course as a requirement to be relicensed. In addition, new graduates who do not pass the licensure examination in two or three attempts are often required to take refresher courses to qualify to take the examination again. Pursuing a teaching degree does not require a refresher course.
