Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Optimal health of older adults rests on the degree to which the needs for physiological balance, connection, and gratification are satisfied. There is the risk in busy clinical settings that the less tangible needs of gratification and connection can be overlooked.

Calcium, calcitonin, vitamin D, and estrogen are all commonly used in the treatment of osteoporosis. Antibiotics and thyroid hormone are less likely to be directly related to the diagnosis.
