Answer to Question 1

C
Thyroid disease, anemia, and heart valve calcification all are causes of CHF. Diabetes (response C) is not.

Answer to Question 2

A
Providing older adults with the opportunity to ask questions gives them the chance to examine their medication regimen and enlist your assistance in solving problems with it. The rest of the responses (responses B, C, and D) are components of a medication teaching plan for older adults, but they do not engage the older adult in active problem solving.
