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.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.
