Answer to Question 1

B, D
Feedback:
More people survive to old age, and any problems that they have had throughout their lifetimes may still be a part of their lives. The many losses and challenges of late life may exceed resources and promote mental illness. Older people do not necessarily become demented and mental illness is not to be expected. Mental health is not consistently increased by age.

Answer to Question 2

A
Diabetic ketoacidosis symptoms include dry mucous membranes and drowsiness leading to coma.
