Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The student nurse should be aware that clients in middle adulthood are most likely to be in the phase of stagnation, because they are likely to focus on individual pursuits and interests. In early adulthood, people choose to establish relationships with others; in older adulthood, people are handling midlife crises; teenagers choose personal goals for life and are not likely to be in a phase of stagnation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Because of the decrease in ovarian functions, the client loses the ability to become pregnant. Loss of estrogen makes the client susceptible to fractures and also increases the risk of heart disease. Changes in sexual response are usually related to physical changes in the vagina.
