Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
Some older adults deny their own aging in ways that are potentially problematic. For example, some older adults deny functional declines and refuse to ask for assistance with tasks that place their safety at great risk. The need to cope with loss is much greater in the older adult population. Most older adults cope with the death of a spouse. Some must cope with the death of adult children and grandchildren. All experience the death of friends. The ways that older adults adjust to the changes of aging are highly individualized. Many older adults welcome retirement as a time to pursue new interests and hobbies, participate in volunteer activities, continue their education, or start a new business career.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: A
Psychosocial theories of aging explain changes in behaviors, roles, and relationships that come with aging. Although some theories generalize about aging, biologically and psychosocially each individual ages uniquely. The activity theory considers the continuation of activities performed during middle age as necessary for successful aging. The continuity theory states that personality remains the same and behavior becomes more predictable as people age.
