Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
A strong musculoskeletal system helps to protect bone. Weight-bearing activities decrease the risk of injury by strengthening the bone. Blood flow doesn't change. There is impaired bone formation secondary to reduced osteoblastic production of bone matrix which increases the risk.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The fear of falling, which is the most common reported fear among older adults, has been identified as a public health problem that is of equal importance to falls. This fear goes beyond prudent safety measures and is not a normal, age-related change. The resident's actions do not necessarily indicate a cognitive deficit.
