Answer to Question 1

D
Effective teaching strategies for the older adult include providing individualized information that is based on what the patient needs to know and presenting information slowly in frequent sessions.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cardiac chest pain is most often substernal and radiates to the left arm and jaw in men, but some women have epigastric pain, complaints of indigestion, or a choking feeling and dyspnea. Peri-cardial pain results from an inflammation of the pericardial sac and is usually nonradiating and often occurs with inspiration. Pleuritic chest pain is peripheral and usually radiates to the scapular region.
