Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Health care professionals must inform and educate elders about the benefits of health care screenings and examinations, physical activity and fitness, and good nutrition. As the woman was already getting an annual checkup, the nurse should stress nutrition and exercise.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Therapeutic questions are key questions that the nurse uses to facilitate the interview. One important basic theme is to determine the family's expectations of the interview or home visit.
