Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Prenatal care includes a thorough physical assessment of the pregnant woman during regularly scheduled intervals. Information regarding STIs and other vaginal infections and urinary infections that will adversely affect the fetus and counseling about exercise patterns, diet, and child care are important for a pregnant woman. Empty nest syndrome occurs as children leave the home. Postpartum depression is rare.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In 2012, 57 of older adults in non-institutional settings lived with a spouse (45 of older women, 71 of older men); 28 lived alone (35 of older women, 19 of older men); and only 3.5 of all older adults resided in institutions such as nursing homes or centers. Most older adults have lost a spouse due to death rather than divorce.
