Answer to Question 1

C
Alcohol and drug abuse are serious problems for many older adults. The physical effects and social isolation associated with alcohol and drug abuse are serious threats to the functional independence of older adults. Responses A, B, and D are incorrect. Alcoholism and drug abuse are often missed in reviewing the problems of older adults and are not socially accepted but rather are socially ignored. The negative physical effects of alcohol and drugs can increase potential for injury and disability.

Answer to Question 2

B
Restorative care is the essence of rehabilitation of functional abilities. Response A does not address the holistic approach of restorative care. Responses C and D are incorrect. Restorative care is not based on medical diagnosis or age of the resident, but rather on functional ability.
