Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

In this cohort study, a group of people who were born at approximately the same time or share some characteristics of interest is the focus of the research. This study does not possess the characteristics of a case-control or cross-sectional study, and epidemiological study is not an existing methodology.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Depression can be a prodromal symptom of dementia in older adults. Suicide rates in older adults are higher than in younger people. Sleep disturbances and lack of concentration are not noted to be absent in older adults with depression, and bronchodilators and antiplatelet medications are not among the medication linked with the onset of depression.
