Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The role of the nurse is to assist older people by addressing potential problems and planning ahead for contingencies that would support them in continuing to experience and express their passions. Addressing potential health care needs would best fulfill this role. The remaining op-tions are not as powerful in helping to achieve their goal of traveling.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Private time for prayer, meditation, and reflection may be needed. Nurses may neglect to explore this issue with elders because religion and spirituality may not seem a high priority. The client should be assured that religious longings and rituals are important and that opportunities will be made and respected. The nurse should never assume a client's desire or need to see clergy or to have family accompany him or her to services, and should respond only when asked to.
