Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. While nutrition is important, it does not directly prevent atrophy of the muscles.
2. Adequate fluid intake is important, but is not a measure to prevent muscle weakness directly.
3. Strenuous exercise is discouraged, as the older client can sustain injuries.
4. The nurse encourages an active lifestyle, with specific exercises that help retard the aging process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 3, 5

1. Red bone marrow, found mostly in flat bones such as the ribs make blood cells and hemoglobin.
2. The wrist bones are short and are not associated with the hemoglobin or red blood cells.
3. Red bone marrow, found mostly in flat bones such as the ileum make blood cells and hemoglobin.
4. The ankle bones are short and are not associated with the hemoglobin or red blood cells.
5. Red bone marrow, found mostly in flat bones such as the sternum make blood cells and hemoglobin.
