Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
According to estimates, the number of older adults will increase to 72.1 million by 2030. Part of that increase is due to extension of the average life span. Two other factors that contribute to the projected increase in the number of older adults are the aging of the baby boom generation and the growth of the population segment over age 85. The baby boomers are the large group of adults born between 1946 and 1964.The diversity of the group over age 65 will also possibly increase.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Prenatal care includes a thorough physical assessment of the pregnant woman during regularly scheduled intervals (not just the last trimester). 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.
