Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Active life expectancy, which is measured on a continuum ranging from inability to perform activities of daily living to full independent functioning, is an indicator of quality of life during later adulthood. The theory of gerotranscendence addresses the change in perspective that often accompanies aging, and life expectancy is a measure of chronologic age. Rectangularization of the curve is attributed to changes in survival caused by various significant factors occurring at different points in time.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Nursing practice prioritizes the maintenance of wellness into later life rather than simply increasing chronological life expectancy. It is unrealistic to expect older adults to avoid age-related physiologic changes.
