Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Without an emotional support system, the older adult comes to feel unloved and unlovable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The losses of home, spouse, car, and independence in making choices are devastating blows to someone's self-image, even if he or she has social contacts and individual needs are met.
