Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Obstacles to improving men's health include reluctance to consult their primary care provider, the concept that masculinity emphasizes physical strength and competitiveness, and the fact that many men do not have a primary care provider.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An elderly person living independently in a single room in a full-service life care community is a client of an assisted living facility. Adult day health care is for individuals whose mental or physical function requires them to obtain more health care and supervision; it serves as more of a medical model than the senior center, and often individuals return home to their caregivers at night. Nursing home facilities provide treatment for those needing rehabilitation. Home care pro-vides individual and environmental assessments, direct skilled care and treatment, and short-term guidance for individuals in the home.
