Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
In the middle adult years, as children depart from the household, the family enters the postparental family stage. Time and financial demands on parents decrease, and the couple faces the task of redefining their own relationship. Psychosocial factors involving the family include the stresses of singlehood, marital changes, transition of the family as children leave home, and the care of aging parents.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Lifestyle habits that activate the stress response increase the risk of illness. Smoking is a well-documented risk factor for pulmonary, cardiac, and vascular disease in smokers and in individuals who receive secondhand smoke. The presence of certain chronic illnesses in the family increases the family member's risk of developing a disease. Family risk is distinct from hereditary disease. Caffeine is a naturally occurring legal stimulant that is readily available. Caffeine stimulates catecholamine release, which, in turn, stimulates the central nervous system; it also increases gastric acid secretion, heart rate, and basal metabolic rate.
