Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Older adults represent the vast majority of the visually impaired population, with over two-thirds of those with visual impairment being over age 65. Although there are no gender differences in the prevalence of vision problems in older adults, there are more visually im-paired women than men because, on average, women live longer than men. However, Afri-can-Americans are twice as likely to be visually impaired than are whites. Neither economic status nor injury play a substantial role in the development of visual problems in the older adult population.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A memory is an incredible gift given to the nurse, a sharing of a part of oneself when one may have little else to give, and it provides insight into who the person really is telling the story.
