Answer to Question 1

C
The hardwood floor provides an even surface. If the daylight from the large windows causes a glare problem, then curtains may be used. Throw rugs can slide underfoot and can lead to a fall, particularly when the sense of balance has declined with age. The fluorescent lighting can lead to a glare problem, and the irregularities of the natural stone floor can lead to a fall. The linoleum floor also presents a glare problem, and overheating is a risk in older persons who have a reduced sweat-gland response to heat.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Hearing aids are useful for sensorineural hearing loss, but the most common cause impairing the hearing of older persons is cerumen impaction.
B Incorrect. Cochlear implants are useful for profound sensorineural deafness, but the most common cause impairing the hearing of older persons is cerumen im-paction.
C Correct. Irrigation is used to dissolve and remove impacted cerumen, the most common cause of impaired hearing in old age.
D Incorrect. Sign language has been used primarily by those who become deaf in childhood or at birth, but it is not considered a treatment.
