Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. An acute problem due to decreased cardiac output should appear dur-ing the real exercise.
B Incorrect. The man is mobile enough to participate in the exercise program.
C Correct. During exercise, the body shunts blood to the skeletal muscles to supply enough oxygen to meet the increased metabolic demands of the muscles. If the exercise is suddenly withdrawn, the blood pools in the skeletal muscles temporarily, and the older adult loses consciousness from transient hypotension. This is because baroreceptor responsiveness declines with age, so the body does not respond as readily to the need for changes in blood pressure. The cool-down period compensates for this effect.
D Incorrect. Gradual sensory alteration does not account for the acute episode.

Answer to Question 2

D
Some persons do not value inner psychological exploration and remain action oriented even in an older age, and others are still subject to the same demands of daily living as they were in middle age. None of these theories is clearly supported by data. Peck's tasks of ego differentiation, body transcendence, and ego transcendence demand a great deal of courage and energy that not eve-ryone possesses. Tasks of aging in Kelly's model are accepting reality, fulfilling responsibility, and exercising rights.
