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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
