Feedback

B The age of 60 is not used as the lower boundary to define older adulthood.
C The age of 65 continues to be used as the lower boundary to define older adulthood.
D The age of 70 is not used as the lower boundary to define older adulthood.

Answer to Question 2

D
Correct care of a chest tube involves knowing normal and abnormal functioning of the tube. Bubbling in the water-seal chamber is expected. Stripping the drain requires a physician order. If the chest tube becomes dislodged, immediately apply occlusive pressure over the insertion site. The chest tube should not be clamped unless necessary; if so, the length of time clamped would be minimal to reduce the risk of pneumothorax.
