Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Balance training is important for older adults to reduce falls.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Breathing through the mouth makes it impossible to hold the breath, and bearing down cannot be performed. The Valsalva maneuver increases blood pressure and may cause cardiac overload.
