Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Functional age refers to functioning and the ability to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing and grooming, and instrumental activities of daily living, such as cooking and shopping. This definition of aging is a better measure of age than chronological age. After all, most older adults are more concerned with their functional ability than their chronological age. Assisting older adults to remain independent and functional is a major focus of nursing care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Beginning in the 1970s, the women's movement called for the reform of systems affecting women's health. The current emphasis began before the presidential races that involved Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. The women's movement has caused there to be new research studies that focus on women. Additionally, political correctness addressing the rights of women has occurred because of the women's movement.
