Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
To be more precise about the relationship between a person's age and his or her particular needs, the National Institute on Aging has defined chronologic categories of the young old (65 to 74 years), the middle old (75 to 84 years), the old old (85 to 94 years), and the elite old (95 years or older).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Adolescents with conduct disorder are often unmanageable at home and disruptive in the community. They have little empathy or concern for others. They may be callous and lack appropriate feelings of guilt, although they may express remorse superficially to avoid punishment. They often blame others for their actions. Risk-taking behaviors such as drinking, smoking, using illegal substances, experimenting with sex, and participating in crime are typical. Cruelty to animals or people, destruction of property, theft, and serious violation of rules are diagnostic criteria.
