Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
One of the quality-of-life factors that is important to seniors is the ability to drive. Many older adults depend on driving in order to maintain independence and personal mobility. Age related declines in vision, hearing, and other abilities as well as certain medical conditions and medications can affect driving skills. Thus, safety is a concern for any elderly driver. This safety concern outweighs the other concerns of cooking one's own meals, providing self-care, and marrying a younger woman.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The teacher can be assumed to be an expert in dealing with small children. If the problem is defined as a child not behaving within expectations, the most effective approach would be to discuss with the parents how to help the child. Systems theory provides direction in understanding how health care providers can expand family capacity by changing parenting and therefore changing child behaviors.
