Answer to Question 1

A
Do not overaccentuate words. Speak in a normal tone; do not shout or raise the pitch of voice.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Lifestyle choices are within the locus of control of most older adults with chronic conditions and they have the potential to increase quality of life, though not cure chronic disease. Lifestyle choices supersede the direction of her physician, and while support and resources may indeed open up more lifestyle options, lifestyle choices are not exclusive to patients with these resources.
