Answer to Question 1

A
Convalescence is often a slow process, with older adults demonstrating small improvements over time. Older adults, families, and health-care workers often can become frustrated with the slowness of the process. Responses B, C, and D all are principles of rehabilitation, but they do not address rehabilitation as a slow process.

Answer to Question 2

B
Focusing on life extension and reducing risks of premature death are inappropriate for older adults who may have exceeded the average life expectancy. Not accepting the normal changes that occur with aging is also inappropriate.
