Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Though decreased lubrication can result in dyspareunia for older women, lubricant production does not completely cease at menopause and it would be inaccurate to generalize that sex is usually not possible physically. Sex does take longer for older men than younger men. Older people are less sexually responsible than younger people. There is a reduction in orgasm in older people.

Answer to Question 2

B
Encourage fluids to liquefy secretions and aid in their expectoration.
