Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Condoms are an important protection for sexually active adults who are sexual with anyone other than a long-term monogamous partner. Condoms protect from many sexually transmitted diseases. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is considered a chronic disease. Eleven percent of new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections occur in adults aged 50 years, and by 2015, 50 of HIV-infected individuals will be 50 and older. This is true, but doesn't answer the question.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The interplay between chronic and occasional acute conditions is typical of the health trajectory of many older adults. The most salient factor is not acute problems alone, nor are health problems necessarily attributable to age-related changes. Changes in health status are rarely consistent and do not exclude chronic conditions or acute problems.
