Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Medicare and other insurance programs will cover all or part of the care for up to 100 days of care. Typical diagnoses associated with skilled care in a nursing home are stroke, fractured hip, congestive heart failure, and rehabilitation after acute illnesses (e.g., pneumonia and myocardial infarction). About 65 of older adults spend some time in a nursing home.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The primary focus of the Stages of Change model is on replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy behaviors. This may include awareness of screening, exercise, and wellness, but the main priority is health-related behaviors.
