Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Functional consequences are the observable effects of actions, risk factors, and age-related changes that influence the quality of life or day-to-day activities of older adults. Low oxygen-carrying capacity, abnormal breath sounds, and pulmonary disease are negative functional consequences of smoking. The ability to run a 5-K race is lost with smoking. Children may be exposed to secondhand smoke. These are not functional consequences of smoking for this person.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Health is individually determined, based on the functional capacities that are perceived as important by that person, in this case, participating in a half marathon. Remaining free from disease and expecting the older adult to participate in daily aerobic activity class may not be pertinent to this client. Increasing activity by only 30 minutes at time minimizes the client's goal.
