Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that older adulthood becomes an opportunity for choosing modes of living more freely than before and that her mother's behavior is normal. The client does not need to explain to the mother the client's social responsibilities, try to force the mother to revert to following a routine, or send her to an assisted living facility.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should ensure that the activities taken up by older client should bring joy and happiness. Some examples of the retirement activities that the nurse could encourage are consulting, traveling, and spending time with family members; and volunteerism and educational opportunities. Spending time at retirement daycare homes does not encourage independence.
