Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
A perceived loss of useful function often constitutes a crisis for older men and can be associated with despair rather than integrity in Erikson's typology of the life cycle. A change in diet, a medical intervention, and grief at the loss of a spouse are less closely associated with this conflict.

Answer to Question 2

B
Contusions are the most common soft tissue injury. Most contusions are treated by applying ice bags or cold compresses.
