Answer to Question 1

D
Falls are the leading cause of accidental death in individuals over 65, in part because of posture changes brought on by age.

Answer to Question 2

A
When caring for Mexican-Americans, it is considered inappropriate for the husband to be present during birth. The father is not expected to see his wife or baby until both are cleaned and dressed.
