Answer to Question 1

A
Keeping teaching sessions short is an appropriate method when teaching an older adult client.
The older adult should be taught when the client is alert and rested, not in the early morning or late evening.
The teaching session should not be filled with numerous topics.
The older adult client is capable of learning and should be the focus. A family member may be included in teaching, but the older adult client should not be excluded.

Answer to Question 2

A
People do not seek treatment for STIs because they are embarrassed to discuss sexual symptoms or concerns.
Inability to access health care services is not the most common reason for clients remaining un-treated.
Lack of knowledge concerning signs and symptoms is not the most common reason for clients remaining untreated.
Insufficient respect for the seriousness of the disease is not the most common reason for clients remaining untreated.
