Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
What defines quality of life varies from person to person. Nurses must listen to what the older adult considers to be most important rather than making assumptions about that individual's pri-orities.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Obtaining a comprehensive assessment of an older adult takes more time than the assessment of a younger adult because of the longer life and medical history and the potential complexity of that history. Plan to spend extra time with the assessment.
