Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. As shown in Figure 1-1, the Native American elder population does not rise as rapidly as the Hispanic elder population between 1990 and 2030
B Incorrect. As shown in Figure 1-1, the African American elder population is expected to have the second-slowest rise between 1990 and 2030
C Correct. As shown in Figure 1-1, the Hispanic elder population is the most ra-pidly increasing population segment between 1990 and 2030
D Incorrect. As shown in Figure 1-1, Asian/Pacific Island Americans is the second-fastest growing cultural group in the years 1990 through 2030, second only to Hispanic Americans.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Standardized assessment tools are not necessarily electronic.
B Correct. By learning how to use an assessment tool and following some basic rules, the new nurse can collect reasonably reliable assessment data without ad-vanced interviewing skills.
C Incorrect. A standardized tool is only as good as the nurse administering the tool; as the nurse's skill level for assessing an older adult increases, the data collected will increase in comprehensiveness and reliability.
D Incorrect. After data collection, the new nurse must analyze the data to deter-mine suitable nursing diagnoses; most assessment tools do not perform the analysis in place of the nurse's judgment.
