Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Approximately 40 of individuals, ages 65 and older, utilize the preventive services that are available to them. However, only 24 of those between the ages of 40 and 64 do so. There is a paucity of research specific to health promotion and aging; however, the research that exists demonstrates that health promotion strategies are highly effective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Maintaining existing levels of physical activity is consistent with functional wellness. Teaching the client how to use a rolling walker enables the client to remain active at the highest level possi-ble, which is an example of promoting functional wellness. Receiving recommended screening is an example of promoting biological wellness. The use of a rolling walker should be based on as-sessment of physical ability. Encouraging the client to attend weekly chess games is an example of promoting social wellness.
