Answer to Question 1

D
Whatever the housing status of the older person, it must be remembered that each person has a right to determine where to live unless he or she is proven incompetent. The other options do not help the patient maintain autonomy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Research has proven that normal aging affects a variety of factors that contribute to the increased incidence of automobile accidents caused by older adult drivers. Although the other options also relate to safety, older adults are more likely to be in multiple vehicle crashes, impacting the safety of others as well as their own.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
