Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Risk-reduction interventions are actions that have a direct bearing on preventing an older adult from acquiring a health problem in the future; none of the components of the program have this effect. Screening and risk assessment are accomplished through interviewing older adults and performing blood work and digital rectal examinations. Bathroom alterations are an example of environmental modification.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Discharge planning is not a core component of health promotion. Health promotion denotes interventions or programs that focus on behavior changes that can improve health and well-being. Teaching older adults how to live with a particular disease, fostering spiritual growth, and promoting good nutrition are all components of health promotion.
