Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3

The disease management model focuses on providing education and instruction about the disease, its management, and self-monitoring. Long-term care and hospitalization frequency are not aspects of this approach to chronic care.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4

Changes in tissue and organ structure, reduced liver and renal function, and taking several drugs at once contribute to a predisposition to toxic drug effects. A decrease in taste sensation is an age-related change but it does not contribute to toxic drug effects.
