Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Older adults who are beginning to exercise for the first time in their lives (or for the first time in a long time) should begin with only 5 minutes per day. Exercise is beneficial at any age. Reminders about stretching and praising the patient are also good options, but safety comes first.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) is a screening test for cognitive function. The other options are not related.
