Question 2

Mrs. Greene, who is 68 years old, is at your clinic for her annual physical. She is quiet and does not use her usual quick sense of humor. She tells you, I feel like an old rag. I can't hear or see as well as I could before.
 
  What's wrong with me? You are able to tell her:
  A) Mrs. Greene, some vision and hearing loss is normal in the aging process. The doctor can run some tests and discuss options with you.
  B) Mrs. Greene, don't worry. I'm sure it's nothing
  C) Well, at least you don't need to worry about driving anymore.
  D) Why are you feeling so concerned, Mrs. Greene?
