Answer to Question 1

B
This is the usual age of onset, although oftentimes it is not noticed by others, or the condition may not be diagnosed until signs and symptoms become much more prominent.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: The nurse is most likely assessing the client for fine tremors secondary to alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawal from alcohol can also cause headache, insomnia, transient hallucinations, depression, irritability, anxiety, elevated blood pressure, sweating, tachycardia, malaise, and coarse tremors.
