Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. These forms of exercise can help to increase bone density.
B Incorrect. Drinking fortified milk can help to increase bone density.
C Incorrect. Increasing weight-bearing exercise can help to increase bone density.
D Correct. Reviewing the older adult's nutritional habits can reveal clues about potential dietary contributors to bone loss from excessive sodium, alcohol, caffeine, or carbonated beverage intake. In addition, the nurse also confirms that the patient avoids smoking and a sedentary lifestyle that contribute to bone loss.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Caregiving is unrelated to the process of informed consent.
B Correct. The nurse uses knowledge of the culture's influence on the elder in re-lation to decision making to avoid unnecessary tension and misunderstanding and thus to facilitate the process of informed consent. The nurse uses the infor-mation about decision making by sharing the cultural information with the healthcare provider and by addressing the culturally suitable member of the family for informed consent.
C Incorrect. Death and dying, although potentially relevant, is unrelated to in-formed consent.
D Incorrect. Relevant to surgical procedures, elder and family experiences with pain and discomfort are important to the pain management plan.
