Answer to Question 1

B
Role performance is the way in which a person views his or her ability to carry out significant roles. Common roles include mother or father, wife or husband, daughter or son, sister or brother, employee or employer, and nurse or patient.

Answer to Question 2

C
Arterial vessels in the older adult become calcified and lose elastin. This may lead to hyperten-sion and a rise in systolic blood pressure. Both of these normal changes of aging place the older adult at risk for heart failure.
