Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

The loss of his employment is a major change that disrupts his life-long goals. The middle adult is becoming aware of physical changes and limited time to live. This situation is not a hormonal crisis, and although the patient may feel the job loss is his fault, that is not what he expressed.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, E

Dietary supplements are appropriate and conducive to health, provided safety has been considered. It is appropriate to conduct activities at a somewhat slower pace with older adults, since a mild slowing of cognitive and neurological function is a recognized phenomenon that is considered normal. Self-care should be fostered and assistance provided when necessary. Frequent naps are counterproductive to healthy sleeping and waking cycles. Reminiscence is a healthy and important process and it does not preclude engagement with the present.
