Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Whereas in 2000, approximately 84 of older Americans were non-Hispanic white, it is projected that this population will decrease to 64 by 2050 . During this same period, there will be dramatic growth among Hispanic older adults, who will represent 16 of the older population. Black individuals will grow from 8 to 12 of the older population during this time. By 2020, one-quarter of America's older population will belong to a minority racial or ethnic group.

Answer to Question 2

C
Rationale: Nursing interventions for treating herpes virus infections should focus on treating specific symptoms and preventing spreading of the disease. Lesions should be kept dry. Warm, moist compresses may be applied.
