Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
An integral part of the wellness approach to the health care of older adults is a holistic approach to care that considers mind, body, and spirit. Health problems are an inevitable reality but a decrease in wellness does not necessarily accompany the aging process.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Assisted living arrangements have become an increasingly common alternative to nursing homes. The number of Americans living in nursing homes has recently decreased, not increased, and more older women live alone than do older men. Ninety percent of older Americans live in an apartment or house, rather than in an institutional arrangement.
