Answer to Question 1

A
The use of sharply contrasting colours, especially red, on drawers and other places promote functional independence.
Black and white colours are not the best recommendation for promoting safety in the older adult.
Perception of the colours blue, violet, and green usually declines with age.
Perception of the colours blue, violet, and green usually declines with age.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse's relationship with the patient allows the nurse to understand the patient's priorities. Spiritual priorities do not need to be sacrificed for physical care priorities. When a patient is terminally ill, spiritual care is possibly the most important nursing intervention. If the patient participates in a formal religion, involve in the plan of care members of the clergy or members of the church, temple, mosque, or synagogue.
