Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Mr J has passed through the honeymoon phase of his retirement and has entered the disenchantment phase. In this phase, the retiree feels let down, and depression may or may not be experienced. Mr J's nurse can help him take the next step into the reorientation phase, in which he develops a lifestyle that gives him satisfaction based on realistic choices. The stability phase may follow, although some retirees never achieve it. Termination is the end of retirement brought about by illness, disability, or a return to work.

Answer to Question 2

B
Caucasian and Asian women have a higher incidence of osteoporosis than African American women or Hispanic women.
