Answer to Question 1

B, C
Rationale: Older individuals are more prone to become crime victims. A decline in restorative sleep
does occur as one ages. These factors affect care delivery by nurses. The other two options reflect
myths about aging.

Answer to Question 2

D
FRAMES makes use of brief interventions that allow the nurse to take advantage of brief
interactions with substance-abusing clients. Option D is consistent with FRAMES because the F of
the acronym stands for feedback of personal risk. R refers to responsibility to the patient (personal
control). A refers to advice to change. M refers to a menu of ways to reduce drinking (options). E
stands for empathic counseling and S for self-efficacy or optimism of the patient. None of the other
options listed fits the FRAMES framework.
