Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Though sexual activity by no means ceases among older adults, the duration and intensity do normally decrease. Androgen replacement therapy for men is not yet an established treatment modality. In older women, estrogen production slows but does not cease following menopause. Sexual pleasure and frequency do not normally remain consistent with younger adults.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

During the preclinical stage, the disease is not clinically evident but is destined to progress to clinical disease.
