Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The onset of menopause and the climacteric affect the sexual health of the middle adult, not the young adult. Unplanned pregnancies are a continued source of stress that can result in adverse health outcomes for the mother (young adult), infant, and family. Smoking is a well-documented risk factor for pulmonary, cardiac, and vascular diseases in smokers and in individuals who receive secondhand smoke and constitutes a health risk for the young adult. Substance abuse directly or indirectly contributes to mortality and morbidity in young adults.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The two-career family has benefits and liabilities. Stressors result from transfer to a new city; increased expenditures of physical, mental, or emotional energy; child care demands; or household needs. To avoid stress, partners should share all responsibilities. Young adults are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases. Consequently, there is an increased need for education regarding mode of transmission, prevention, and symptom recognition and management for sexually transmitted diseases. The stress that many women experience after childbirth has a significant impact on the health of postpartum women. Social pressure to get married is not as great as it once was, and many young adults do not marry until their late 20s or early 30s, or not at all.
