Answer to Question 1

B
Because the risk for pregnancy is nonexistent in postmenopausal women, condom use is diminished.
This puts elderly women at risk for AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Safe sex continues
to be important and should be taught to the elderly population. Option C: AIDS dementia presents
clinically with many of the same symptoms as Alzheimer's disease. This topic is of much less
importance than educating about the use of condoms. Option D: Little to no danger exists from
blood transfusions.

Answer to Question 2

C
The conference room would provide a quiet, private area for teaching and learning. The day room
and the music therapy room are too busy. The auditorium is too large and has inappropriate seating.
