Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
With uneven weight bearing and decreased range of joint motion, falling is a priority. Abuse potential would indicate other findings such as bruising or unkept appearance. While stroke prevention is important in a middle-aged adult, these are not the signs of stroke. While self-esteem issues may arise from physical changes, safety is a priority over self-esteem issues.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Middle-aged adults also begin to help aging parents while being responsible for their own children, placing them in the sandwich generation. It does not include job and family responsibilities; old habits and new ones; or career and retiring.
