Answer to Question 1

D
The acute pain the patient is experiencing will have the greatest impact on the success of the health assessment interview and must be removed as a barrier for the assessment to be successful. The other factors are important too, although depending on the cognitive status of the patient, the family may or may not need to be present.

Answer to Question 2

C
This patient shows acceptance of past accomplishments and finds value in him- or herself despite current limitations, which is healthy aging according to Jung. The person who wants to travel more displays remorse. The focus on past accomplishments does not show current acceptance. Reading and gardening do not show acceptance of past accomplishments.
