Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The gap in life expectancy between white individuals and African Americans has widened because the life expectancy of African Americans has not increased at the same pace as that of Caucasians. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services attributes this decline to an increase in deaths from homicide and AIDS.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The patient is having difficulty taking care of the house. The nurse would want to review those things that the patient can do to minimize breathing problems, such as dusting. The nurse should suggest ways to improve the air quality in the home such as opening a window a small amount to increase ventilation. An exercise schedule or deep-breathing exercises may or may not be appropriate for the patient at this time. Increasing the temperature in the home might make the house stuffier.
