Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Young-old adults are persons 65 to 75 years of age. These adults were attuned to conflicts in national leadership associated with the Vietnam War. Reminiscence groups share memories of the past. The incorrect options are less relevant to this age group.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
The geriatric problem drinker begins drinking in later life, often in response to stressors such as retirement, loss of spouse, and loneliness. Once the demands of job, career, and care of a family and household are gone, the structure of daily life is disrupted. Mild cognitive impairment is not a predisposing factor in the development of geriatric problem drinking. Other risk factors include less than a high school education, smoking, low income, and male gender.
