Answer to Question 1

B
The age-related thinning of the vaginal mucosa and subsequent vaginal tissue disruption, as well as age-related reductions in immune function, place older adults at increased risk for HIV infec-tion. The risk does increase with increasing numbers of sex partners, but this combined with physical changes is the critical piece of information. HIV can be contracted through any sexual activity.

Answer to Question 2

A
Loss or gain of 5 of body weight in 1 month puts a patient at nutritional risk. The other patients are not at nutritional risk.
