Answer to Question 1

B
It is inappropriate to review anyone's mail without permission. Regarding bill payments, ask a family member to review the older adult's mail. Responses A, C, and D all are appropriate components of the environmental assessment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response B is a measurable, realistic, specific, time-related, and attainable goal. Responses C and D are not resident-centered goals. They are nursing interventions. Response A is a goal, but it does not address the current problem, stasis ulcer. The goal is not specific or timely.
