Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
The AP can perform vital signs, enema, and height and weight.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
More people are achieving and spending longer periods of time in old age than ever before in history. Declines in living conditions, increased prevalence and incidence of the same health problems, and higher survival rates during infancy do not account for the increased importance of gerontological nursing.
