Answer to Question 1

C
Outcomes serve as measurable guidelines to determine goal achievement. Less than two awakenings is a measurable goal. The other responses are subjective (more easily, sleep longer, more refreshed) and do not have a measurable outcome.

Answer to Question 2

B
Approximately 50 of older women experience some type of sexual problem such as low desire or vaginal dryness. In men, the penis does not become firm as quickly and is not as firm as it is at a younger age. Ejaculation takes longer to achieve and is shorter in duration, and the erection often diminishes more quickly.
