Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4

All of these screening tests, except for osteoporosis screening, are recommended for the middle-aged male based on age and time interval. Osteoporosis screening is recommended for the older adult male (age 65 or older).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4

The first four statements reflect the changes and concerns that arise in the middle adult years. While unplanned pregnancy can be a concern for perimenopausal women, this statement is more likely to come from a young adult.
