C. Has A Good Chance Of Celebrating His 75th Birthday.”
D. Is Likely To Live Into His Late 90s.”

Expectancies For Black And White Americans Has Narrowed Significantly Between 1999 And 2015, With
The Death Rate For Blacks (African Americans) Dropping By 25% (Office Of Minority Health, 2017). Of

2. A Nurse Is Planning Care For A Group Of Super-Centenarians In An Assisted Living Facility. The
Nurse Considers Which Of The Following?

Mutations That Made Them Less Susceptible To Common Diseases.
CORRECT ANS> A
Research Supports That Most Super-Centenarians Are Functionally And Cognitively Intact, Requiring
Minimal Assistance With Adls. The Number Of Super-Centenarians Is Expected To Increase In Coming
Years As The Number Of Older Adults Increases. Although Centenarians Still Carry Genetic Markers
Within Their Chromosomes For Any Number Of Health Problems, For As Yet Unknown Reasons, These
Are Not “Activated” Until Much Later, If At All, When Compared With Other Persons.

C. They Did Not Have Access To Immunizations Against Communicable Disease When They Were
Children.

CORRECT ANS> B
The Baby Boomers, Individuals Born Between 1946 And 1964, Post-WWII, Have Better Access To
Medication And Treatment Regimens Than Other Cohorts. They Have Had The Benefit Of The
Development Of Immunizations Against Communicable Diseases. They Grew Up In An Era Of Prosperity
Post-WWII. However, There Was A Lack Of Importance Placed On What We Now Consider Healthy Living
When They Were Younger. Smoking, For Example, Was Not Condoned, But Was Considered A Symbol Of
Status. Candy In The Shape Of Cigarettes Was Popular, And There Was Much Secondhand Smoke.
