Answer to Question 1

C
The Katz scale is used to determine if an older person has the ability to care for himself or herself. The other choices are made-up possible definitions.

Answer to Question 2

C
Slowed gastric emptying may cause an older person to have feelings of fullness and a lack of appetite. Eating smaller, more frequent meals may decrease this discomfort. Responses A, B, and D are not sound advice for an older person. Roughage and fluid are important to promote bowel function. Forcing oneself to eat or eating only one meal a day is not good nutritional practice.
