Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Older women may experience dyspareunia (painful intercourse) as a result of less lubrication, decreased distensibility, and thinning of the vaginal walls. Orgasm is not more easily achieved in older women. Sexual interest and receptivity do not decline after age 60 . Poor muscle tone in the vaginal wall does not make penetration difficult.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Only aloe vera is used for both purposes. Chamomile extract is used for skin inflammation; witch hazel, as an astringent and for treating bruises and swelling; and peppermint oil, for skin inflammation and for treating minor burns and cuts.
