Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
FFC is based on a philosophy of care where the nurse acknowledges the older adult's physical and cognitive abilities and encourages the individual to function at the highest level possible. Option B is correct because the nurse is giving step-by-step directions and allowing the patient to move independently. Option A is incorrect because the nurse is moving the patient instead of al-lowing the patient to move himself/herself. Option C is incorrect because although it does solicit important information from the patient, it is making the assumption that the hospital setting is the same as the home setting. The response also has a negative tone to it. Option D is incorrect be-cause it is not allowing the patient to use as much time as needed in order to be independent.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: B
The high prevalence of joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, may hamper successful performance of aerobic exercises that cause joint impact. Tennis, dancing, and use of a treadmill and elliptical machine in the gym may all cause joint impact. Swimming is a low-risk activity that provides aerobic benefit, and water-based exercises are particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis or other mobility limitations.
