Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Faith is the ability to draw on spiritual resources without having physical and empiric proof. Body and mind refer to psychosomatic concepts. A manner of expressing spirituality refers to religion. A search for the sacred, transcendent, or universal refers to spirituality.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
With aging, the ability to maintain the attention span through the completion of complex tasks diminishes. Another segment of attention that shows some decrements with aging is vigilance, which is the ability to sustain attention over longer periods of time. Increased reac-tion time that results in decreased speed of performance is an obvious change that occurs with normal aging. Problem-solving ability is a higher cognitive function. There is little knowledge regarding normal changes in higher cognitive functioning during aging and so the remaining options are not based on evidenced-based practice.
