Answer to Question 1

D
Shortened sleeping time (response B) and frequent wakening (response A) are not as distressing to older adults as wakening in the morning and still feeling tired. This feeling is related to the decrease in REM and stage IV sleep. Older adults rarely complain of not being able to nap during the day (response C).

Answer to Question 2

D
Diabetes mellitus occurs in 20, or 1 in 5, of Native Americans; this is compared with 1 in 10 in other ethnic groups. This high incidence developed in the 20th century, perhaps as a result of changes in diet and exercise habits.
