Answer to Question 1

D
A care plan would include responses A, B, and C. HIV/AIDS is not a chronic disease. Although medication regimens can assist in minimizing the impact of HIV/AIDS, it is still considered a terminal diagnosis, and this is a dying patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
The question asks about commonly occurring changes in the aging body. This eliminates responses A and C. More and more elderly people have their own teeth because of modern dentistry techniques. The answer is the overall slowing of the body's metabolism (response B).
