Answer to Question 1

A
Maintaining skin integrity is a goal for rehabilitation. Responses B, C, and D do not reflect the principle of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is not a short-term process (response B) and often is continued throughout the life of an older adult with a chronic disease or disability. Rehabilitation and restorative care require active participation of the older adult and his or her family. Exclusion of the older adult in planning the rehabilitation program (response C) is inappropriate. It is inappropriate to expect that an older adult will not experience setbacks (response D) through the rehabilitation process.

Answer to Question 2

D
Inactivity leads to muscle wasting and weakening of bones. Frequently, older adults complain of poor circulation, which results in inactivity.
