Answer to Question 1

A
A common stressor for the young adult is job stress.
Health-related matters are not common stressors for the young adult.
Coping with cognitive changes is not a common stressor for the young adult.
Caring for older adult parents is a stressor that is more often seen with the middle adult, not the young adult.

Answer to Question 2

D
Adults have a wide variety of personal and life experiences to draw on. Therefore adult learning is enhanced when adults are encouraged to use these experiences to solve problems. Evi-dence-based information indicates that adult clients prefer effective communication techniques.
Evidence-based information indicates that computer-assisted learning is not a preferred method of instruction by many adult learners. As clients become more comfortable with computers, this preference may change.
Evidence-based information indicates that not all clients are comfortable in classroom settings or in support groups. Other educational opportunities should be available.
Adult learners prefer short teaching sessions without lots of technical information.
