Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
To promote an individual's health, it is necessary for the individual to be in a safe environment and to practice a lifestyle that minimizes risk of injury. Active strategies are those in which the individual is actively involved through changes in lifestyle (e.g., wearing seat belts or installing outdoor lighting) and participation in wellness programs. Accidents involving automobiles ac-count for the most substantial number of injuries and deaths among this population from among the options provided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
The nurse educates clients regarding safe driving tips (e.g., driving shorter distances or only in daylight, using side and rearview mirrors carefully, and looking behind them toward their blind spot before changing lanes). The other options, while not incorrect, may not be realistic or ap-pealing to an independent client.
