Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Compared with younger adults, older adults experiencing a myocardial infarction are more likely to have dyspnea or neurologic symptoms, rather than chest discomfort. Older adults with angina and acute myocardial infarction are more likely to have subtle and unusual manifestations.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Nutritional interventions for cholesterol reduction limit foods containing saturated fats and trans fatty acids and increase foods that are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
