Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Senior centers provide social interaction and opportunities for peer group relationships. Such a center provides caregivers of seniors with temporary relief and rest (respite) from the responsibilities of caring for frail adults. Retirement communities offer older adults the freedom and privacy of their own apartment while providing conveniences, security, and services to lighten their responsibilities. A long-term care facility (LTC) is often referred to as a nursing home. Clients are generally referred to as residents because the facility is their home or residence. A subacute care facility is available in most LTC facilities. Typically, residents require more complex care and higher staffing levels than the usual LTC resident, but not the intensity of care provided by an acute hospital.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should recommend that this client undergo cervical cancer screening every 3 years. A client over age 30 with three normal Pap test results in a row need not have a screening twice yearly or annually. As per the American Cancer Society Guidelines, cervical cancer screening should be done every 3 years and not every 4 years.
