Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Those who deny old age fail to establish retirement plans. People fail to provide for health care needs for many reasons, and acceptance of mortality may or may not influence personal relationships. The major sign of denial of mortality is failure to make a will and make plans for death.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When incontinent episodes occur, discuss the cause with the patient in a matter-of-fact and therapeutic manner. Everything is not just fine for the patient; it is a big deal to him or her. The nurse should not tell the patient how to feel.
