Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Long-term care residents and elderly hospitalized clients are at increased risk for antibiotic-resistant infections. Pneumonia, influenza, urinary tract and skin infections, and TB are common in older people, especially residents of long-term care facilities. The incidence is not as high in young adults, children, or pregnant women admitted to health care facilities.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should ask the man to talk to the family directly. Revealing information about the client's care is a violation of the client's privacy. The nurse should not invite the gentleman for a learning session because it would be a breach of the client's right to privacy. Referring him to a social worker is not an appropriate choice.
