Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 1. Healthcare needs for this age group need to be focused on the unique aspects of gerontological health. The Boomer generation began turning 65 in 2011, and this age group is expected to become a dominant segment in the population.
2. Prolonging life at any cost through medication does not contribute to quality of life.
3. Providing health insurance for all groups is not specific to those 65 or older, as they have access to healthcare through Medicare.
4. Rationing healthcare to those who deserve it is against the American culture of healthcare.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. As the White-alone population over 65 years of age increases, demands on the health system will increase.
2. Planning needs for other segments of the population will need to remain at appropriate levels.
3. Manufacture of childhood immunizations is not driven by changes in this population.
4. Cultural accommodations for minority groups will need to remain and be increased in order to provide culturally appropriate care.
