Answer to Question 1

A
Women and men who served in the armed forces during this time became accustomed to preven-tive medical and dental care. Those influenced by the Great Depression are more likely to hoard money. Families started becoming more mobile. This cohort is not as likely to be noncompliant because of cohort influences.

Answer to Question 2

D
The older adult is not likely to be admitted to the hospital until a high level of acuity or compli-cations exists. The other options may be possible, but the majority of older patients are admitted at a high level of acuity.
