Answer to Question 1

A
Older adults are demanding more programs and services aimed at health maintenance and pro-motion and disease and disability prevention. Based on this information, the heart healthy living presentation would be best received.

Answer to Question 2

D
Older adults continue to feel valued and viewed as active members of society when allowed to maintain a sense of control over their living environment by attention to personal choices and rituals. Adhering strictly to policies does not allow for individualized care. Not all in the same age cohort will have similar interests. Voting on television programs does not ensure each individual feels a sense of worth.
