2

b. Elimination of the mandatory retirement age
c. The Americans with Disabilities Act
d. The Drug Benefit Program
CORRECT: A
The broadest sweeping legislation beneficial to the older adult is Medicare and Medicaid. The

through private insurance companies and typically pays entire costs.

7. The daughter of a client who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer asks which documents are
required to allow her to make health care decisions for her parent. Which response would provide the
most accurate information to the daughter?
a. Advance directives indicate the degree of intervention desired by the client.
b. A ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ document signed by the client transfers authority to the
next of kin.
c. A durable power of attorney for health care transfers decision-making authority for
health care to a designated person.
d. A living will transfers authority to the physician.

CORRECT: C
A durable power of attorney for health care transfers the authority for decision making to a designated
person. An advance directive specifies the type of care an individual desires when he cannot speak for
himself. The durable power of attorney is only one type of advance directive. A “Do Not Resuscitate”
document states that the client wishes to die naturally with no intervention. A living will prohibits the
use of life-prolonging measures.

direction.
b. The refusal to eat is an indication of approaching Alzheimer disease.
c. The refusal to eat is an effort to gain attention.
d. The refusal to eat is an indication of the dislike of the institutional food.
CORRECT: A

whatever control they may retain.
