Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
According to United States Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS): Healthy People 2020, emerging issues in the health of older adults are the following: coordinating care; helping older adults manage their own care, establishing quality measures; identifying minimum levels of training for people who care for older adults; and researching and evaluating appropriate training to equip providers with the tools they need to meet the needs of older adults.

Answer to Question 2

C
Older adults are at higher risk for acute psychological pain than younger adults because they ex-perience more loss such as the pain occurring in early bereavement or in a major depressive epi-sode. Older adults tend to have more illnesses than younger adults, and illness can trigger de-pression. The lack of assets of younger and older adults is unlikely to be related to acute psycho-logical distress unless a sudden loss of a large asset is experienced. Older adults do not necessar-ily live with impairments. Further, if impairment causes psychological distress, then the acute phase is likely to occur at the onset rather than in day-to-day activities.
