Answer to Question 1

B
Responses A, C, and D all present barriers to older people. Living to old age and preventing aging and chronic diseases are youth-biased purposes for health promotion that naturally exclude the elderly individual by the stated focus. Programs designed for the purpose of enhancing one's life would be the most appealing.

Answer to Question 2

C
Certified nursing assistants (CNA) and unlicensed assistant personnel (UAP) cannot assess, plan, or evaluate any aspect of patient care; they cannot determine how often a pulse reading should be taken on a specific patient. They can take an apical pulse, however, and help older adults with routine tasks such as toileting and bathing.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
