Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Primary prevention refers to specific action taken to optimize the health of the older individual by helping him or her become more resistant to disease or to ensure that the environment will be less harmful.

Answer to Question 2

B
To measure the appropriate intensity while walking for exercise, many apply the talk test: the person exercising should be able to carry on a conversation while walking. Breathing may be slightly labored, but a conversation should still be possible. The walker should not be out of breath. The other suggestions may or may not be appropriate for individual patients.
