Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Older persons should be advised against treating respiratory problems themselves. Many over-the-counter cold and cough remedies can have serious effects in older adults and can interact with other medications being taken. These drugs also can mask symptoms of serious problems, thereby delaying diagnosis and treatment. Older adults should know that a cold lasting more than 1 week may not be a cold at all, but something more serious that requires medical attention. Getting influenza and pneumonia vaccinations as well as performing deep breathing exercises are valid health promotion activities. Avoiding others with a cold or the flu is a good disease prevention strategy and should be reinforced by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

C
A witness is only verifying that this is the person who signed the consent and that it was a voluntary consent. The witness (often a nurse) is not verifying that the patient understands the procedure.
