Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, E
Maternal and child health is a major focus of many health departments, and there is not a medical or nursing specialty within a health department that routinely exists to specifically address men's health. Routine reproductive health screening has been expanded to include some general screening, such as testing blood pressure and urine and blood for chronic problems. Men do not have routine reproductive health checkups that include screening, which would detect other health problems at an early stage. Women see physicians more often because of the need for physicians related to childbearing, not because they enjoy the socialization with health care providers or have more time to complete these visits. Employers may require health screening of their employees, both male and female. Women enjoy socialization during visits to health care providers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Retirement can be a happy occasion when it is planned and the person has many activities to which to devote time and energy. Retirement is often a happy occasion when planned and voluntary; however, the opposite may be true if it is involuntary. When older adults retire, they inevitably must cope with a change in social status; this may be difficult for people whose self-concept was based on job status. For retirees who are married, the spouse must also adjust to the changes related to retirement. For elders who have no hobbies or interests, this extra leisure time may be a source of boredom. Family income being less is not necessarily a stressor as many job-related expenses also disappear.
