Answer to Question 1

D
It is a misconception that old age is synonymous with disease and illness. The nurse should al-ways determine the patient's sense of wellness and independence when conducting a health and history assessment. An assessment of medication use and family support is important for any pa-tient. Many older adults do have chronic health conditions, but their perception is more important than a single number.

Answer to Question 2

B
The poverty rate among older black women is substantially higher than that seen among males or females of other ethnic groups. White males had the least poverty.
