Answer to Question 1

B
There is no information to indicate that older adults have an increase in the number of sexual partners (response A), and there are no data to support that chronic diseases (response C) increase HIV. Performance-enhancing drugs are increasing the sexual activity of older adults who are unaware of safer sex practices.

Answer to Question 2

D
Acute diseases are not the most common problem for older adults, and medication management and repeated hospitalizations are not health problems but may be issues for older adults with chronic diseases.
