Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Information on lifestyle behaviors that lead to disease is available at research-sponsored websites that have peer-reviewed material and expert analyses. Website content should be easy to read and understandable for the general population. Most sites that discuss the latest information about health risks, lifestyle behaviors, and outcomes have separate information specifically for health care providers. Research that evaluates positive and negative lifestyle-behavior outcomes is constantly evolving as discoveries are made about the physiologic changes bodies experience with disease and illness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Assessment of the patient begins with risk factors that take into account the person's age and the associated level of immune system function. The very young, especially neonates and infants born prematurely, are more susceptible to infections because of the immaturity of their immune systems. Likewise, older adults have decreased immune system function because of the aging process. Older patients are at risk for opportunistic infections resulting from harmless organisms that become pathogenic and illness from the spread of community-acquired disease. Complications from comorbidities of chronic disease may also increase suffering in the aged population.
