Answer to Question 1

A
This is a reasonable explanation that addresses a situation the woman may be experiencing. There is no need at this point for a detailed explanation of silent cancer. Responses C and D are incorrect because pelvic examinations are necessary in older women.

Answer to Question 2

D
Exercise assists in increasing endurance and increasing muscle strength, which affects functional ability. Calcium supplements help prevent porous, brittle bones that are susceptible to fractures; this assists in functional ability. Response C is incorrect because a diet rich in carbohydrates would cause weight gain, placing greater strain on joints and bones.
