Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The older adult population is growing steadily and rapidly and will have a huge impact on health care in the future, due to the prevalence of chronic illness in this group. Chronic illness occurs in all groups, but for the older adult population, it is a special concern.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The leading cause of death in women overall is heart disease. Women face significant barriers to timely diagnosis and treatment of heart disease than do men. The nurse can conclude that this has improved, leading to the significant decrease in the female death rate. Contraception choices would not lead to a significant decrease in mortality, as childbirth is not a common fatal event, although the number of perinatal deaths has not declined in recent years. And even with multiple choices in contraception, at least half of all pregnancies are unintended or mistimed. Access to fresh produce could improve many health conditions for women. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in women.
