The nurse is providing assistance at a community health fair that targets the middle-aged client. Which of the following statements is true for this age group?
 
  1. The middle-aged person has decreased intellectual and cognitive abilities as a result of the normal aging process.
  2. Adults make the transition into this stage easily and without problems.
  3. Physical capabilities and functions decrease with age, but mental and social capacities tend to increase in the latter part of life.
  4. Cognitive and intellectual abilities are somewhat decreased due to slower reaction time, loss of memory, and changes in perception and problem solving.

Question 2

A 30-year-old client who plans to travel extensively within the United States asks the nurse about appropriate immunizations. The nurse should recommend that the client:
 
  1. Have a tetanus booster if the client has not had one within the last 5 years.
  2. Have the hepatitis B immunization series.
  3. Receive a meningococcal vaccine if the client did not receive one as a teen.
  4. Not worry about immunizations as they are not recommended for this age group.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Cognitive and intellectual abilities change very little during this time.
Rationale 2: Transition into middle life can be as critical as during adolescence. Some refer to the midlife crisis and call the decade between 35 and 45 years the deadline decade.
Rationale 3: Physical capabilities and functions do decrease with age, but the mental and social capacities actually increase in the latter part of life.
Rationale 4: Cognitive and intellectual abilities change very little during this time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Recommended immunizations for this age group include tetanus-diphtheria booster every 10 years.
Rationale 2: The hepatitis B series would not be recommended for travel within the United States.
Rationale 3: Recommended immunizations for this age group include meningococcal vaccine if not given in early adolescence.
Rationale 4: This option is not true since there are recommended immunizations for this age group.
