Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Advocating for a husband and wife to remain in the same room of a long-term care facility, as is their preference fosters connectedness, a component of the older adult's quality of life. Teaching wound care, organizing treatment, and adequately assessing a client are aspects of good care, but none is a direct contributor to connectedness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Changes in vision and response time are considered to be age-related changes. These are not necessarily risk factors and they would not be considered positive functional consequences or wellness outcomes.
