Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Expected role transitions include retirement, loss of a spouse, grandparenting role, and role re-versal. Retirement often has a major impact on the individual if much of the individual's identity was job-related. Options 1 and 2 are not role transitions. Option 4 would be a role for the health professional to assume.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
A review of accomplishments and disappointments in one's life is considered necessary to the development of ego integrity. Option 2 is associated with the development of intimacy. Options 3 and 4 are associated with generativity.
