Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, E
If this education is directed toward those who are healthy, weight loss information can help maintain health and prevent illness. If this education is used in those already ill (hypertension, diabetes), weight loss can restore health. The nurse is not practicing advocacy or facilitating coping by providing weight loss education.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Motivating the older adult client can be done by showing the client how the new knowledge will improve his quality of life, regardless of how long that may be. It will also demonstrate how the new knowledge could improve the client's level of independence. Although demonstrating the use of the walker and explaining how the walker assists with ambulation (and the rationale for its use) can be used to educate the client, these actions would not promote motivation for the client to learn.
