Answer to Question 1

C
Beebe's 2002 research found that the most frequent problems faced by the subjects included difficulty managing medications, psychiatric symptoms, and social problems. Choosing among several job offers was not identified as one of the major problems faced.

Answer to Question 2

D
When elderly parents move in with their children, the children can expect to see decreased self-worth and personal identity in both parents. The parents would be making a major role change from being independent after caring for their children, to now being dependent on their children.
