Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
According to the Healthy People 2020 document, the goals are to increase the percentage of persons who receive a seasonal influenza immunization; 65 years of age or over and living in the community; to increase the percentage of persons who are vaccinated against herpes zoster, 60 years of age or over; and to increase the percentage of persons who are vaccinated against pneumococcal disease; 65 years of age or over and living in the community. Increasing the per-centage of persons vaccinated against HPV, 60 years of age or over, is not a goal. After age 27 years, an immunization for HPV is not recommended.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Decreased kidney function leads to decreased glomerular filtration rate and the ability of the kidneys to concentrate urine and clear waste.
B Correct. Secretion of thyroid hormones tends to decrease with age, resulting in a greater likelihood of a slower metabolism, hypothyroidism, and thinning hair and nails.
C Incorrect. Decreasing brain function tends to result in decreased cognitive func-tioning.
D Incorrect. Osteoclastic activity tends to decrease with age, increasing the risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis.
