Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Infections frequently manifest themselves in older adults as a change in mental status, not changes in cardiovascular, pulmonary, or urinary body systems. The cardiovascular system cannot keep up with the increased metabolic demands that an unrecognized infection imposes. The result is cerebral hypoxia or delirium.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Alcohol abuse is addressed by the state healthcare agencies. Motor vehicle safety, immunization information, and food choices are addressed by the U.S. Public Health Service.
