Answer to Question 1

B
Asterixis is a hand flapping tremor in which the patient stretches out an arm and hyperextends the wrist with the fingers separated, relaxed, and extended. This occurs in the patient with hepatic encephalopathy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When the older adult does not have the requisites to meet needs independently, however, nursing interventions are needed. While interventions may well be performed in situations characterized by answers B, C, and D, answer A is the broadest principle that would supersede the others cited.
