Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Anxiety is a common result of impaired psychosocial function in older adults. It is less likely to result in hyperglycemia and it is not associated with increased independence or resilience, another positive consequence of healthy psychosocial functioning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Healthy aging classes are based on the belief that older adults who are beginning to recognize age-related physical and psychosocial changes or who are already dealing with such changes can benefit from sharing their experiences with their peers. Such classes are not primarily a venue for assessment or for role-play. Teaching is best performed by having the members share.
