Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Presbycusis refers to a diminished ability in hearing acuity related to inability to perceive certain tones. 1. Presbyopia is loss of ability of the eye to accommodate to changing distances. 2. This is not an explanation of presbycusis. 4. Proprioception refers to sense of balance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Physiologic changes in the reproductive system do not mean sexuality is impaired or that intima-cy is taboo. Many older adults enjoy various forms and degrees of intimacy and sexual relations. 2. This is false. 3. Sperm production continues well into old age. 4. Androgen production de-creases with aging.
