Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Many age-related functions peak before age 30 and begin to decline after that.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Depression is common in the older adult population and is frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed. People may think withdrawal and excessive sleeping are normal age-related changes, but they are not. he nurse should assess the older adult for depression. Other assessments can follow because they are not the priority for this patient.
