Answer to Question 1
C
A community health nurse's goal is to help clients to assume responsibility for their own health care. The nurse must assess the client's learning needs and readiness to learn within the context of the individual client, the systems that she interacts with, and the resources available to her for support. Asking the client about what foods she should eat may help the nurse assess the client's level of knowledge regarding nutrition, as well as her food preferences. It also enables the client to become a participant in her own care.
Telling the client what foods to buy does not encourage her to assume responsibility for manag-ing her own health care.
The nurse should first assess the client's available resources, and then encourage her to do her own shopping.
Providing information on food sources and stores with reasonable pricing may be appropriate after the nurse has determined what information the client requires to meet her nutritional needs.
Answer to Question 2
B
Older adults face the necessity of adjustment to the physical changes that accompany aging. As body systems age, changes in appearance and functioning occur. These changes are not associated with a disease but are normal changes. The presence of disease sometimes alters the timing of the changes or their impact on daily life. Acceptance of personal aging does not mean retreat into inactivity, but it does require a realistic review of strengths and limitations. Some older adults find it difficult to accept that they are aging.
