Answer to Question 1

B
Patients with PD display slow movement, infrequent blinking, masked facies, and cogwheel ri-gidity. Patients with PD exhibit tremors at rest in their hands, arms, legs, feet, and jaw.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Most areas of the brain do not lose brain cells. Although older adults may lose some nerve con-nections, it can be part of the reshaping of the brain that comes with experience. Basic intelli-gence remains unchanged with age, and older adults should be provided with opportunities for continued learning. Many people reach older age and have no memory problems. Participation in physical exercise, stimulating mental activity, socialization, health diet, and stress management help brain health.
