Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

The middle adult, according to Fowler's theory of spiritual development, is less rigid in his or her beliefs and has increased faith in a supreme being, as well as trust in spiritual strength.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

Polypharmacy can sometimes be addressed by conducting a thorough and coordinated review of a client's medication regimen. It would be inappropriate and unsafe for the nurse to arbitrarily withhold some medications or to encourage the client to do so. The client's local pharmacist is not normally able to make independent changes to the client's medication regimen.
