Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Contextual theories and everyday problem solving emphasize that older adults are able to remember affective and personally relevant information. The client may need to record the blood glucose on paper.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Changes in fluid intelligence are more closely associated with pathologic conditions of the circulatory and nervous system than with age-related changes alone. Crystallized intelligence, except for those processes that depend on the speed of response, does not decline with age. Contextual theories do support the idea that memory and other cognitive skills of older adults are better than those of younger adults under some conditions; however, this does not address the variation between fluid and crystallized intelligence.
