Answer to Question 1

C
During the beginning of a relationship, people often are uncomfortable. When working with a patient with psychological disorders, there can be serious problems that interfere with the development of a relationship, such as paranoia or limited short-term memory. Earning the trust of the patient is crucial to any meaningful relationship.

Answer to Question 2

D
Health and health promotion can address the vitality and independence of older people, even if they have a chronic disease. The experience of health is not reserved for only persons who do not have an illness. Responses A, B, and C may be true, but they do not capture the depth and spirit of the statement for elderly people.
