Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Young adults are generally active and have a minimum of major health problems. However, their lifestyles put them at risk for illnesses or disabilities during their middle or older adult years. An estimated 10 to 15 of reproductive couples are infertile, and many are young adults. Exercise in young adulthood is increasingly important to prevent or decrease the development of chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes that develop later in life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Changing norms and values about family life in the United States reveal basic shifts in attitudes in our society. The trend toward greater acceptance of cohabitation without marriage is a factor in the greater numbers of infants being born to unmarried women. Many times, parents from alternative family structures feel lack of support and even bias from the health care system.
