Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Metacognition means that an individual understands his or her own cognitive process, and this process will impact performance. Health education provides information about techniques to enhance cognitive abilities. Older adults benefit from internal and external memory-enhancing techniques, such as calendars, imagery, and notes.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Adverse medication effects can have a profound influence on the cognitive functioning of older adults. Genetic, environmental, and occupation factors are potential risk factors, but medications are more commonly implicated.
