Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
The geriatric triad includes falls, changes in cognitive status, and incontinence. Responding promptly to call lights, assessing for elimination needs, and having bed alarms limits falling.

Answer to Question 2

A
Dyspareunia is painful intercourse, which has several causes, one of which is vaginal dryness. The nurse can teach the woman about water-soluble lubricants. Kegel exercises are not related. Deep breathing and relaxation do not address the physical issue. Antifungal medications are not warranted.
