, Which of the following is an age-related, not pathological, physiological change?
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Increased collagen and elastin in arteries
B. Intermittent tinnitus
C. Reduced gas exchange efficiency
D. Progressive tremor
✅ Correct Answer: C. Reduced gas exchange efficiency
RATIONALE
Reduced gas exchange efficiency in the lungs is a normal physiological consequence of aging due to decreased
alveolar surface area and reduced elasticity, whereas tinnitus and tremors can indicate underlying pathology.
Increased collagen and elastin in arteries is incorrect; arteries become stiffer and less elastic with age due to
collagen cross-linking and elastin degradation.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 25
Which statement BEST reflects the concept of successful aging and appropriate provider actions to support
health promotion in older adults?
CORRECT ANSWER
A. Successful aging emphasizes autonomy, functional ability, and active engagement, and providers should
address access barriers and promote culturally sensitive, preventive care.
B. Older adults define health primarily through the management of medical conditions, not through
independence or quality of life.
C. Health promotion is unnecessary beyond age 65 due to the inevitability of chronic illness and declining
function.
D. Successful aging is defined by the complete absence of disease and disability, and providers should focus
solely on curative treatments.
✅ Correct Answer: A. Successful aging emphasizes autonomy, functional ability, and active engagement, and
providers should address access barriers and promote culturally sensitive, preventive care.
RATIONALE
Successful aging is characterized by maintaining autonomy, functional capacity, and social engagement,
necessitating provider support for access, prevention, and culturally competent care. This holistic approach
prioritizes quality of life and well-being over mere absence of disease.
