Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Dry wrinkled skin, gray hair, and needing glasses to read are all commonly occurring and normal physiologic changes of aging. They are not abnormal and do not lead to complications.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

Women between the ages of 40 and 55 experience menopause, with a gradual decrease in ovarian function and subsequent depletion of estrogen and progesterone. Menstrual periods stop abruptly or gradually, and many women experience hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue. The nurse would focus on assessing the reproductive system.
