Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C, D, E
The life events of late adulthood have profound psychosocial ramifications, including reduced income, acknowledgment of mortality, relocation from home, and chronic illness. Social networks typically shrink rather than expand.

Cultural background significantly influences how a person defines all aspects of psychosocial function. It is essential to recognize that every society has standards of behavior. Many societies do not have the rigid distinction between health and illness that Western society does.
