Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. When older persons are living with family members, the nurse can encourage family members to foster independence in the client. This may include encouraging them to assign specific roles within the household to the older family member. Exercise, moving into an assisted living facility, and purchasing a cellular phone are not identified as fostering independence in an older client.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Lessons should proceed at a slower pace as the elderly client is more accepting of that pace. Teaching sessions should be kept short (10 to 15 minutes) because endurance may be limited. Lessons should occur at times when learners are rested and comfortable. Older clients do retain material as well as younger clients once material is learned.
