Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Population health nurses can suggest that the client with COPD refrain from excessive use of cough medicines because they decrease clearance of secretions and make clients more susceptible to respiratory infection. The excessive use will not affect his immunity, cause less fluid intake, or cause a decrease in his nutritional intake.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Illness and injury prevention with older adults includes screening for disease. Health promotion identifies ways to improve health. Resolution of existing health problems in the older population involves diagnosis and treatment of disease. Health restoration activities for older clients include restoring health and functional status as much as possible and providing palliative and end-of-life care.
