Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Adjusting to reduced income is a task of families in retirement.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The neonate born by vaginal delivery is squeezed as it passes through the birth canal, which helps to expel secretions in the lungs and airways, while the neonate born by cesarean delivery does not experience this squeeze, and will take longer to rid the alveoli of remaining fluids, leading to potential respiratory distress.
