Answer to Question 1

A
Changes in functional ability, or the ability of the older adult to perform activities of daily living, can be influenced by normal aging changes. Response B is incorrect. Many older adults have chronic disease processes, but disease processes are not a normal consequence of aging. Aging is often viewed as a series of losses. The process is gradual, and older adults generally adapt well, maintain their social activities, and are not generally depressed by the aging process. Responses C and D are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

D
Older people with decreased tearing have an increased potential for eye infections. Decreased visual acuity, cataracts, and double vision are related to changes in the lens, retina, or optic nerve.
