Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse is alerting the young wife to the fact that people who have experienced emotional trauma need care too. The nurse does not know how the husband is adjusting so the other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Multiple chronic illnesses come with the aging process. Middle-aged adults are becoming the caregivers for the generation before them and the one after them. Mental clarity is a positive aspect of aging and does not need care. Immobility and blindness do not always mean that the person needs direct care.
