Answer to Question 1

B
The AGS states that group exercises can be effective to improve balance as part of a fall preven-tion program for older adults. Using an assistive device can help prevent falls; however, assistive devices are not part of an exercise program. Although the AGS states that the relationship be-tween exercise and reducing the risk for falls is strong, the recommended type, duration, and in-tensity of the exercises are not clear. The AGS states that to improve balance with exercise, an older adult must participate in exercise for at least 10 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback

C Correct. A case manager typically has a bachelor's or master's degree.
D Incorrect. A nurse with 8 or more years of education, as well as a doctorate, is typically involved in research and teaching.
