Answer to Question 1

B
Individuals with chronic conditions must be taught and assisted with techniques to function at their personal optimal level in all arenas of life. Responses A and C are specific for acute illnesses. Response D is incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

A
To prevent a potential anaphylactic reaction, it is essential to know if the older adult has medication allergies before administering a new medication. Time of last meal (response B), name of pharmacy (response C), and drug use history (response D) all are components of the drug assessment, but they are not as essential as knowing allergies before administering a medication.
