Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Appropriate principles that the nurse may use in guiding the care of mental health problems in elders include strengthening the individual's capacity to manage the condition, by fostering improvement of physical health; eliminating or minimizing the limitations imposed by the condition; and acting or doing for the individual only when absolutely necessary. It would not be correct for the nurse to do everything possible for the individual, or immersing them in new and unfamiliar situations. It would also be inappropriate for the nurse to insist that elder persons do not spend time by themselves as some elders may prefer some time alone.
