Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Because the nurse notices her tension, the nurse suspends the prepara-tion temporarily to validate her assessment. If the nurse proceeds and the elder is uncomfortable discussing elimination, important instructions can be missed, leading to adverse effects for the elder.
B Correct. When working with an interpreter, the nurse watches the elder closely for nonverbal communication and emotion regarding a specific topic and, therefore, validates her assessment about the elder's tension before proceeding.
C Incorrect. Repeating the instructions can aggravate the elder's discomfort.
D Incorrect. Instructing the elder to repeat the nurse's instruction ignores the elder's needs.

Answer to Question 2

D
One-third of all persons who have an OA-related fracture die within 1 year. OA can be a natu-ral-occurring consequence of aging. The vertebrae, pelvis, and wrist are the most frequent sites for OA fractures. The risk of OA is much lower for African-American women than it is for those of other races. Thin women of northern European descent are at the highest risk.
