Answer to Question 1

proteins

Serum cardiac markers are certain proteins that are released into the blood in large quantities from necrotic heart muscle after a myocardial infarction.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Feedback:
Older adults often forego condom use and assume STIs are not a problem, despite the increasing incidence of HIV/AIDS in older adults. Susceptibility to STIs does not necessarily increase in older adults in general or in older women specifically. In the older population, the use of condoms is often avoided because the risk of pregnancy does not exist. Hormonal changes in menopause do not increase an older woman's susceptibility to sexually transmitted diseases.
