Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Aggregate income for the population aged 65 years and over comes largely from four sources: (1) Social Security provides 37, (2) earnings account for 30, (3) pensions provide 19, and (4) asset income accounts for 11.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Cheatham reported that several studies showed males to be more likely to change health behaviors when these changes were suggested and supported by female family members whom they believed were concerned about the well-being of the man. Thus, female support is more important than educational programming, being part of a team, or a physician prescription.
