Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Separation from the elderly means people are less likely to see the similarities between themselves and older adults. This separation leads to lack of understanding of the elderly and reduces the opportunities for the young to gain realistic insights into aging.

Answer to Question 2

B
The patient should remain flat in bed. Avoid the Trendelenburg position because it pushes the abdominal organs against the diaphragm, affecting the lung and heart.
