Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Sexual desire remains throughout the life span. Sexual activity may decline because of decreased physical mobility, circulatory impairment, or the unavailability of a partner. Self-gratification may be the only outlet.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The body of the older adult patient assumes an altered shape with an increased forward thoracic curvature (kyphosis) and a flattening of the lumbar curvature.
