Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Health behaviors associated with the greatest change in a positive direction have been those influenced by legislative action (e.g., seat belt use, use of smoke detectors, and drunk driving laws). Well clinics, peer-reviewed journals, and the male consumer movement have not had as much influence on men's health behavior as legislative action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Many older adults are faced with raising their grandchildren, often without the presence of the grandchildren's parents. Reasons include neglect related to parental substance abuse, abandonment, emotional and physical abuse, parental death, mental and physical illness, incarceration, teen pregnancy, and grandparents' assisting adult children who work or attend school.
