h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hnewborn,the nurse replies that, ―2010 statistics indicate that your son:
h h h h h h h h h h
a. will have a life expectancy of approximately 65 years.‖
h h h h h h h h
b. can realistically expect to live into his late 80s.‖

h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hexpectancy of African American men is about 4.7 years less than white men. Of the

, assistance with activities of daily living h h h h h
b. The majority of super-centenarians have cognitive impairment
h h h h h h
c. The number of super-centenarians is expected to decrease in coming years as a
h h h h h h h h h h h h
result of heart disease and stroke
h h h h h
d. It is theorized that super-centenarians survived as long as they have due to genetic
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
mutations that made them less susceptible to common diseases
h h h h h h h h
ANS: A h
Research supports that most super-centenarians are functionally and cognitively intact,
h h h h h h h h h
requiring minimal assistance with ADLs. The number of super-centenarians is expected to
h h h h h h h h h h h h
increase in coming years as the number of older adults increases. The reason why

3. One reason why many ―baby boomers‖ have multiple chronic conditions such as heart
h h h h h h h h h h h h
h disease,diabetes, and arthritis is that:

h h h h h h h h h
b. there was a lack of importance placed on healthy living as they were growing up.
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
c. they did not have access to immunizations against communicable disease when
h h h h h h h h h h
they were children. h h
d. they grew up in an era of rampant poverty and malnutrition.

, ANS: B h
The baby boomers, individuals born between 1946 and 1964, post-WWII, have better access
h h h h h h h h h h h h
to medication and treatment regimens than other cohorts. They have had the benefit of the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
development of immunizations against communicable diseases. They grew up in an era of
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
prosperity post-WWII. However, there was a lack of importance placed on what we now
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
consider healthy living when they were younger. Smoking, for example, was not condoned,
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
but was considered a symbol of status. Candy in the shape of cigarettes was popular, and
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
therewas much secondhand smoke.

h h h h h h h h h h h h h
thenurse to understand which of the following?
h h h h h h h h
a. Approximately 40% of older adults (ages 65 and older) utilize available preventive h h h h h h h h h h h
services
b. Preventive strategies are more widely used in the 40-64 age group than in the 65 h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
and over age group h h h
c. The research on health promotion strategies in older adults demonstrates that they
h h h h h h h h h h h
have low efficacy h h
d. There is an abundance of research specific to health promotion and aging
h h h h h h h h h h h
ANS: A h
Approximately 40% of individuals, ages 65 and older, utilize the preventive services that are
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
available to them. However, only 24% of those between the ages of 40 and 64 do so. There
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
is a paucity of research specific to health promotion and aging; however, the research that
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
existsdemonstrates that health promotion strategies are highly effective.

h h h h h h h h h h
hTeaching the client how to use a rolling walker enables the client to remain active at the
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hhighest level possible, which is an example of promoting functional wellness. Receiving
h h h h h h h h h h h
hrecommended screening is an example of promoting biological wellness. The use of a
h h h h h h h h h h h h
hrollingwalker should be based on assessment of physical ability. Encouraging the client to
h h h h h h h h h h h h h
hattend weekly chess games is an example of promoting social wellness.
