Answer to Question 1

A
The acceptable respiratory rate range for a newborn is 30 to 60 breaths per minute. An infant (6 months) is expected to have a rate between 30 and 50 breaths per minute. A toddler's respiratory range is 25 to 32 breaths per minute. A child should breathe 20 to 30 times a minute. An adolescent should breathe 16 to 19 times a minute. An adult should breathe 12 to 20 times a minute.

Answer to Question 2

B
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent disorders in later life and are continuations of life-long illnesses.
Losses in later life may be less stress-provoking than generally assumed, partly because certain life transitions are anticipated and people prepare by coping in advance.
The effect of psychosocial factors on health status is not altered by age.
The timing of stress-inducing events can significantly influence older adults' ability to cope. The fact that older adults may have several stressful events (e.g., a new medical diagnosis and the loss of a spouse) occur within a short period can result in detrimental effects on coping.
