Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Eliciting an older adult's goals for wellness and high functioning can help promote these outcomes. Questions about a client's living situation, disease management, and personal responsibility may or may not promote wellness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Age attribution is the act of attributing a problem to age rather than to a pathology, as in the colleague's statement. Multiple jeopardy is the compounding of discrimination based on factors such as race and gender, while gerontophobia is the fear or hatred of older people. Implicit ageism is the unrecognized, negative perception of older people.
