Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A life review can bring to light reflections on older adults' accomplishments but may also reveal profound disappointments and regrets. It should not be seen, however, as a purely negative experience. It is not viewed as a diagnostic tool and does not require special training.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Reduced saliva is a side effect of antidepressants, and this can increase risk of bacterial or fungal oral infections. Medications should not be stopped without conferring with the primary health care provider. While complementary therapies may be assistive, sipping water can promote saliva and is effective for many individuals. Oral fungal infections are not impacted by ingestion of yogurt.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
