Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
All these disorders are common in elderly people, but arthritis will afflict almost half of them. More than one-third will have hypertension, nearly one-third will have a hearing impairment, and more than one-fourth will have a heart condition. These are the top four conditions a nurse in this situation would want to present to the group.

Answer to Question 2

C
Because of the greater density of breast tissue, mammography is less sensitive in younger women, which may result in more false-negative results.
