Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The care of older adults with diabetes should prioritize self-care measures such as diet, exercise, medications, and glucose monitoring. Screening is not relevant since the client has already been diagnosed with the disease in question. Education about lifestyle factors and maintenance of function are relevant and appropriate, but these are superseded by the importance of facilitating self-care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Palliative care is a holistic approach to care that may be applied during complex and/or declining health states. It is not necessarily limited to the end of life and does not involve a rejection of biomedical interventions. The wishes of patients and their families are prioritized, but this is not the defining feature of palliative care. It includes spiritual and psychosocial care, but is not limited to these domains.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
