Answer to Question 1

B
Decreased glomerular filtration rate is a genitourinary change. Increased hydrochloric acid is an endocrine change. Thicker blood vessels is a cardiovascular change. Musculoskeletal changes include decreased bone mass and density; slight loss of height; thinning of intervertebral disks; and decrease in muscle tone.

Answer to Question 2

D
Middle-aged adults are often referred to as the sandwich generation; a time in life when the individual or couple may still have the responsibility of raising their own children as well as serving as primary caregivers for aging parents or for grandchildren.
