Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The topic of greatest immediacy is the assessment of pain in older adults. Unmanaged pain can precipitate other problems, such as substance abuse and depression. Elderly patients are less likely to be accurately diagnosed and adequately treated for pain. The distracters are unrelated or of lesser importance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Body maps, DNA swabs, and photographs are used to collect and preserve body fluids and other forensic evidence.
