Answer to Question 1

B
Decreased motility in the esophagus is a common age-related change and can affect the ease of swallowing. A loss of the majority of taste buds is not a common age-related physical change. A small number of taste buds are lost beginning around 60 years of age, but it does not affect all flavors equally. Decreased cholecystokinin secretion is not common; however, increased chole-cystokinin secretion is. A loss of smell is not a common age-related physical change.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Defining their legacy is a secondary factor and less likely to contribute to a smooth transition into retirement.
B Incorrect. Location of retirement is less likely to contribute to a smooth transi-tion into retirement.
C Incorrect. Location of health care services is less likely to contribute to smooth transition into retirement.
D Correct. The most significant factors contributing to a smooth transition into re-tirement are health, income, and social involvement, so the nurse helps the par-ticipants focus on financial issues to begin retirement planning, thereby estab-lishing the future retiree's ability to maintain health, income, and social in-volvement. By choosing a year for retirement, individuals can estimate their re-tirement income and consult specialists in retirement planning, such as the em-ployee's human resources department, to determine retirement benefits.
