Answer to Question 1

A
Many older adults now seek education about health promotion and management of their illness. The nurse can support older adults by teaching self-care management in these areas. The other actions are also valued, but learning how to control symptoms gives patients the feeling of ac-complishment.

Answer to Question 2

D
In stage 4 of non-REM sleep, the person needs vigorous stimulation to be awakened. In stage 1, the person is awakened easily, as in stage 2 . Stage 3 requires moderate stimulation.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
