Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

1. Due to the normal aging process, the brain experiences atrophy, which causes slower reflex action.
2. Long-term memory loss is not normal, and should be further assessed.
3. Slurred speech is not a part of normal aging.
4. Confusion is a sign of pathology.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. Examining the retina will not assess presbyopia.
2. Describing the tree outside the window is testing far vision.
3. Due to a less elastic lens, the older client's near vision will be affected and can be tested using an eye chart or by asking to read.
4. Presbyopia affects the eyes, not the ears.
