Answer to Question 1

C
People who believe they have chosen the transition are more likely to embrace the transition, and this represents degree of choice. Responses A, B, and D all are factors influencing transitional outcomes but do not represent Mr. Smith's refusing medication.

Answer to Question 2

D
An upright position promotes increased bone mass, muscle strength, and psychological well-being. Maintaining and improving mobility is essential. Fluids, safety, and stressors are important, but they do not increase functional ability.
