Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
The reality of American attitudes regarding the aging adult and their needs is that family mem-bers provide most of the required care and are willing to pay for services as needed within their ability to pay. Americans view nursing homes as the last option for assuring care for their de-pendent older family member.

Answer to Question 2

B
According to the U.S. Preventative Task Force, pelvic exams and pap smears can be discontinued after age 65 if prior testing was normal and the patient is not at high risk for cervical cancer. The other statements are incorrect.
