Question 1 of 5

All of the following are physical changes of the Nervous System that occur with aging except one:

A. Senses of taste and smell may become dull B. Brain cells shrink and blood flow to the brain is reduced C. Sleep patterns may change with age D. There is less strength to cough

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Aging affects the nervous system: dulled senses , shrinking brain cells and reduced blood flow , and altered sleep are true, per gerontology. Less cough strength is respiratory/muscular, not nervous system directly. PSWs note these changes, but the answer key marks 'C' as false, possibly a typo, though 'D' fits exclusion better. Per key, 'Sleep patterns may change with age' is correct.

Question 2 of 5

Which one of the following statements is true about Alzheimer's disease?

A. It only occurs in people over age 65 B. It is a normal part of aging C. The cause is not fully understood D. Recovery is likely with proper treatment

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Alzheimer's cause isn't fully understood , with genetics and environment implicated, per research. It's not just over 65 , not normal aging , and lacks recovery . PSWs manage its progression, making 'The cause is not fully understood' the correct and current truth.

Question 3 of 5

A symptom of hyperglycemia is:

A. Shakiness B. Increased thirst C. Sweating D. Feeling energized

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) causes increased thirst as the body tries to dilute glucose via urination, per diabetes symptoms. Shakiness and sweating are hypoglycemia signs. Feeling energized contrasts fatigue from high sugar. PSWs monitor this, making 'Increased thirst' the correct symptom.
