Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Smoking, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are all risk factors for VaD after a stroke. Male sex, advancing age, and African-American ancestry are risk factor for VaD.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E, F
Older adults with AD can benefit from regular exercise as demonstrated by more positive affect and mood, improved function, and less disability. Suitable exercises for older adults with AD include exercises that improve balance. Exercises that improve endurance and exercises for mus-cle strengthening are also both suitable for the older adult with AD. Research data support the claim that exercise programs lasting 16 weeks can help improve function and mood of older adults with AD.
Endurance, strength, and balance exercises help improve patients with AD more than walking. Self-paced exercises are unlikely to be suitable for a patient with AD because of cogni-tive dysfunction.
