Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The nursing supervisor nurse should explain how aging does not prevent one from performing ADL's, thus, educating the young nurse regarding the differences between normal aging and problems associated with pathologic conditions. Reprimanding the nurse for charting opinions and reassigning the nurse to another unit does not dispel the myths about the aging process. Suggesting the nurse encourage the client to be more independent is not acting as an advocate for the needs of elders, nor does it address possible reasons for inability to perform activities of daily living.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Cross-dressing, which is a man dressing in women's clothes, is a conscious adaptive sexual response choice. Removing shoes from women in subways, gentle touching of thighs when passing people in a line, and display of genitals to strangers are maladaptive sexual responses.
