Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A practical interference with sexual function in later life is the lack of a partner, particularly for older women. By 65 years of age, there are only 7 men to every 10 women; by 85 years of age, the ratio becomes 1 to 5 . Furthermore, there is a tendency for men to marry women younger than themselves; one-third of men older than 65 years of age have wives younger than 65 years of age; therefore, most older men are married and most older women are widowed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Malignant melanoma is metastatic and fatal. It can be detected early enough to improve diagnosis. Choices B and C, though true, are not the difficulty that cancer patients must contend with once their malignant melanomas are diagnosed.
