Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Weight gain is common in middle adulthood, usually the result of continuing to consume the same number of calories while decreasing physical activity. Asking the patient about exercise fails to provide the needed information and assumes the patient is sedentary. Implying the patient is overeating is judgmental and will do little to establish therapeutic rapport. The patient is aware of aging, and pointing this out does little to meet the patient's obvious interest in more information.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The secondary level involves activities that emphasize early diagnosis and treatment of an illness to stop the pathologic process and enable the person to return to his or her former state of health as soon as possible. This includes receiving treatment such as antibiotic therapy for an infection. Primary activities promote health and delay the occurrence of disease. Tertiary interventions focus on stopping the disease process and returning the individual to society within the constraints of a disability. There is no acute level of intervention.
