Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The number of older Hispanic adults in the United States is growing faster than any other group. In 2000, Hispanic Americans made up 5 of the older adult population. By the year 2050, it is anticipated that Hispanic Americans will make up 17 million by 2050, or 19.8 of all the older adult population in the United States. Although there has been an overall growth in all ethnic groups of older adults in the United States, the Hispanic American group has grown fastest.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Using sunscreen, hydration, and moisturizing lotions are all important topics to include in teaching older adults about skin care. It is true that aging results in more fragile skin that is more easily damaged. The use of antibacterial soaps, which tend to be harsh, can cause ex-cessive drying in the skin of older adults who already have a decrease in moisture content.
