Answer to Question 1
A
Health, history, and sex are major factors influencing the aging experience and interact to make each cohort distinctive.
Culture is a major influence on the experience of aging and contributes to the uniqueness of a cohort; however, self-care needs are basic human needs and contribute to the similarities be-tween cohorts. Self-fulfillment and self-esteem are higher-level human needs on Maslow's hie-rarchy and denote similarities between cohorts. Society and culture are major influences on the aging experience, but marital status is not.

Feedback
A Correct. Acute illness can be likened an emergency department because it treats conditions with sudden onset and sudden exacerbations of existing conditions with short-term treatment options; this is compared to a nursing home, which cares for individuals with long-term conditions that warrant admission after a decline in health or to individuals with long-term health care needs.
B Incorrect. The acute-chronic analogy is a comparison of sudden and short versus gradual and long-term. The comparison between a nurse and a nurse practitioner is one of practice setting and scope of practice.
C Incorrect. Medicare is a type of health insurance; however, chronic illness is not a type of acute illness.
D Incorrect. Inpatient surgical care can be emergent and elective, and outpatient medical care is usually for ongoing health care but can also be applied to emer-gent conditions.
