Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
The next generation of older people (baby boomers) has experienced other influences, in-cluding more liberal attitudes toward sexuality, the women's movement, a higher number of divorced adults, the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, and increased numbers of gay and lesbian couples, that will affect their views and attitudes as they age. The boomers and beyond, as they find themselves experiencing sexuality beyond the age they had assigned to their elders, may alter current perceptions. Economic struggles have historically had little impact of sexual viewpoints.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Recommendations to start at low doses with slow titration to decrease side effects provides the safest means of delivering this medication because of the alterations in the metabolism of the older adult client. The fact that rivastigmine (Exelon) is now available in a patch which may be more convenient to use, have fewer side effects, and provides a consistent day-long dose has less impact on the client's safety than does the correct option.
