Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Older individuals from a Euro-American culture are less likely to be valued by the community owing to the effects of the industrial revolution and the need for strong, young laborers.
B Incorrect. An individual who is an Anglo-Saxon has European ancestry.
C Incorrect. A German citizen is a European.
D Correct. An African American is more likely to receive respect than a younger person in the same community because African Americans are more likely to value the wisdom and insight of older adults.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. As a complication of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), the patient ex-hibits clinical indicators of PMR including severe pain and stiffness of muscles including the back, the buttocks, and the thighs. It is not a disease affecting the joints.
B Incorrect. Blood cultures are not indicated for PMR because it is not an infec-tion.
C Correct. The older adult exhibits clinical indicators of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), and a serious complication of PMR is giant cell arteritis (GCA). The nurse instructs the patient to report scalp and temporal pain because they are early indicators of GCA.
D Incorrect. Because PMR is an autoimmune, inflammatory disorder, applying heat is more likely to aggravate the patient's condition. Effective treatment for PMR includes low-dose steroids. However, this is unrelated to preventing com-plications of PMR.
