Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E
Gender and advancing age are nonmodifiable risk factors for osteoarthritis. There is no evidence that coffee or caffeine has any relationship to the development of osteoarthritis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When an individual is not able to verbally communicate complaints of pain, reports from family or caregivers are important. In addition, in older adults, pain is often manifested as changes in functional status. To assume that the patient is not in pain because she is lying quietly in bed is incorrect. One should not assume that she feels no pain due to her stroke. Older adults tolerate opioid analgesics.
