Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Women can experience arousal disorders resulting from drugs such as anticholinergics, anti-depressants, and chemotherapeutic agents. Whether her partner is also experiencing a problem is irrelevant. While the other questions are not inappropriate, they will not help assess the cause of the problem as effectively as the correct option.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Adult foster care offers a community-based living arrangement to adults who are unable to live independently because of physical or mental impairment or disabilities and are in need of supervision or personal care. The remaining individuals are not currently in need of the services this form of housing provides.
