Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This statement reflects normal changes associated with aging and healthy responses to those changes.
Rationale 2: This statement reflects normal changes associated with aging and healthy responses to those changes.
Rationale 3: The nurse would further assess the client who made the statement, I am so glad that I don't need to worry about sex anymore. This statement is unclear. Does it mean that the client is glad not to have to engage in sex anymore, or does it mean that she will not have to worry about getting pregnant anymore?
Rationale 4: This statement reflects normal changes associated with aging and healthy responses to those changes.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Because the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice.
Rationale 2: If all other variables are equal, the best choice is the 40-year-old male, as this child needs role modeling from both females (the mother) and males (this teacher).
Rationale 3: Even though the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice because of the teacher's age.
Rationale 4: Because the child needs role modeling from both males and females, this teacher is not the best choice.
