Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Good communication skills are the basis for accurate assessment, care planning, and the devel-opment of therapeutic relationships between the nurse and the older person. While the other op-tions are true they do not directly address the concerns of an ailing client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Older adulthood is no longer seen as a period when cognitive development is halted; it is a life stage where unique capacities are developed. Centenarians and super-centenarians have a lower prevalence of dementia then those under age 100.
