were likely to have fought in it.
A person who survived the influenza epidemic would be at least 87 years old in 2005 and therefore
would be considered old-old or a centenarian. Those who are middle-old in 2005 were born between
1920 and 1930, before communism swept Europe. Most of those who are middle- old in 2005 had not
reached childbearing age by the end of the Depression. PTS:1DIF:UnderstandREF:2-3

_____ \
ANS: B
The nurse prepares for short-term care by prioritizing the needs of the older adults, and this intervention
helps maintain the therapeutic plan, thereby addressing the need for physiological integrity.
Furthermore, the nurse maintains continuity of care by preparing a medication schedule to prevent
missed doses of medication. Providing safety and security from the storm is Maslows second most basic
need.
In emergency conditions, the nurse provides basic care relating to safety, security, and physical well-
being. Maintaining a sense of belonging is important but not in emergency conditions. A state of
emergency is not the time to develop self-esteem; meeting safety, security, and physical needs are more
important.
