Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, E

The developmental tasks of the middle adult described by Havighurst (1972) are learned behaviors arising from maturation, personal motives and values, and civic responsibility. To successfully master this developmental stage, the middle adult must accept and adjust to physical changes, maintain a satisfactory occupation, assist children to become responsible adults, adjust to aging parents, and relate to one's spouse or partner as a person. Maintaining social contacts and relationships, as well as being flexible and adapting to age-related roles, is a task of older adulthood.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D

Herbal remedies combined with prescribed medications can lead to interactions that may be toxic. Clients should notify the physician and pharmacist of any herbal remedies they are using. Option A is incorrect even though herbal remedies are considered holistic; this is not something that is necessary to include in the client education. Option B is incorrect; herbal remedies may be cheaper than prescribed medicine but this is still not something that is necessary to include in the client education. Option C is incorrect because for most people it is not necessary to avoid herbal remedies.
