Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Only in the past 60 years have serious and carefully controlled research studies flourished. Before that, anecdotal evidence was used to illustrate issues assumed to be universal, making all the re-maining options incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
The six priority areas of the National Prevention Council include tobacco-free living, preventing drug abuse and excessive alcohol use, healthy eating, injury- and violence-free living, reproduc-tive and sexual health, and mental and emotional well-being. Smoking cessation, depression screening, and recognizing elder abuse all directly address these areas. While cholesterol screen-ing and fitness training are important for older adults, they do not address these six priority areas.
