Answer to Question 1

A, D
Family functions outlined in the structural-functional family theory include being productive members of society, caring for elderly members, meeting physical and emotional needs of family members, and providing socialization of children. This model is more focused on the outcomes of family function than the process by which action occurs. Maintaining support for young adults as they leave the security of the family, reinforcing ethical and moral values, and promoting joint decision making among parents and children are examples of tasks outlined in family development theories.

Answer to Question 2

A, D
It is recommended that all older adults have an annual physical examination. The exam for the oldest-old adult should include the same categories as in middle adulthood, as well as screening for mood, cognition, and ability to perform ADLs. Height and weight are measured to screen for osteoporosis, chronic illness, diet, and appetite. Gait and balance are assessed for functional status such as ability to perform ADLs and safety. At this time, a Pap test is not generally recommended for women past 65 years old but the American Cancer Society recommends it be continued to age 70 . The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for colorectal cancer beginning at age 50 years and continuing until age 75 years.
