Answer to Question 1

C
Providing well-prepared and effectively delivered health-related educational information will provide the best means of promoting a patient's ability to impact his or her wellness and general health. Each of the other options is too narrow to be the most effective way to promote health and wellness.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Even though the educational level of the older population has steadily increased, as a population they are less educated than the general population. This deficiency can account for a lack of un-derstanding regarding the need for medical care and the importance of following a treatment plan. These patients may also have fewer financial resources to devote to health care issues.
