Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Two nurse researchers (Dallas & Neville, 2012), conducted a study to describe the health education and health screening practices of older men living in an area of New Zealand and the perceived barriers and benefits of healthy lifestyle choices. Of those men who did report barriers, the most common reason was lack of motivation (12), followed by lack of knowledge related to availability of programs and screenings (8). Reported external barriers included: lack of programs, associated costs, and transportation challenges.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: E
Although some believe even these definitions are too narrow, the widest definitions are the members of the family are self-defined and the family is who they say they are.
