Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
The guiding principles of an elder friendly facility include treating each patient as a unique indi-vidual and accommodating the patient and family's special needs. Other principles include en-suring that the nurses are clinically competent in gerontological nursing. Tailoring the environ-ment to support the implementation of these principles is part of this initiative. Option B is not correct as it does not relate to the concept of an elder friendly hospital. Option E is not correct since this might not be a supportive intervention for all patients.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
A, B, and C are all included in the Elder Workforce Alliance goals. Options A and D are not.
