Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse is alert for rough, dry, flaky skin when an older adult complains of pruritus to be able to prevent linear excoriation leading to skin breaks, excoriation, inflammation, and infection. A brown macule is a freckle or a liver spot, an indication of sun exposure. Brownish skin is a clinical indicator of venous insufficiency. Regional edema is a sign of fluid overload and venous in-sufficiency; localized edema is a sign of infection.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. A person who survived the influenza epidemic would be at least 87 years old in 2005 and therefore be considered old-old or centenarian.
B Incorrect. Those who are middle-old in 2005 were born between 1920 and 1930, before Communism swept Europe.
C Incorrect. Most of those who are middle-old in 2005 had not reached childbear-ing age by the end of the Depression.
D Correct. Those who are middle-old in 2005 were in their teens and twenties during the war; in particular, the men were very likely to have fought in it.
