Answer to Question 1

C
Pain is a subjective experience, and the older adult's description of pain is the most valuable information to evaluate (responses A, B, and D). Family history of similar pain is not as important to the management of the individual's pain experience.

Answer to Question 2

F
Calcium is important for many body functions, but it is found naturally in many foods, including milk and milk products, leafy vegetables, and legumes, and in calcium-fortified foods (e.g., orange juice). If people eat calcium-rich foods, they may not need extra calcium supplements, especially if they take a multivitamin. Too much calcium can lead to renal stones, and the kidneys slow in function with normal aging.
