Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Brighter colors such as red, orange, and yellow are easier for the older adult to see. Black and white colors are not the best recommendation for promoting safety in the older adult. Perception of the colors blue, violet, and green usually declines with age.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Children at risk for hearing impairment include those who were exposed to rubella in utero. Chil-dren at risk for visual impairment include those who received excessive oxygen as a newborn.
