Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Spiritual expression is useful in fostering hope and is within the scope of nursing practice. Older adults are not necessarily more spontaneously spiritual nor is spirituality secondary to finances and physical health.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Assessment and observation assist in diagnosing nature of the dysphagia. The other cited actions are appropriate but would be secondary to assessment through observation of the related symptoms, types of foods, and timing.
