Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The promotion of positive health practices increases the chances that an individual can delay or deter the impairments and declines that frequently accompany the aging process. Living long in a disabled state is not the most desirable objective. Maintaining youth is not an achievable goal. Accepting limitations is not necessary for many seniors and not life enhancing for many others.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Hypotension is often a consequence of medications, and a review of the patient's current medication regimen would be indicated, along with teaching on how to avoid falls. Assessment and modification of diet and/or exercise would be less likely to address the patient's problem, while garlic and hawthorn would exacerbate the problem.
