Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Myths about aging are common and can negatively impact the quality of care older patients receive. Older individuals are more prone to become crime victims. A decline in restorative sleep occurs as one ages. Learning continues long into life. These factors affect care delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Young-old adults are persons 65 to 74 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.
