Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
It is important to consider sexual activity for the elderly and the questions and concerns they may have about returning to healthy activities. Choices A, B, and C are goals in the care plan for a patient with incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Most elderly people are well, and their care is no more expensive than that of any other person. Death is not the most frequent outcome of illness or surgery. Multiple health conditions often coexist, making it difficult for health care professionals to sort out cause-and-effect relationships in symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments.
