Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The most significant physiological changes during middle age are menopause in women and the climacteric in men.The nurse should continue with the examination because a comprehensive assessment offers direction for health promotion recommendations,as well as for planning and implementing any acutely needed interventions.High self-esteem,a favourable body image,and a positive attitude toward physiological changes occur when adults engage in physical exercise,balanced diets,adequate sleep,and good hygiene practices that promote vigorous,healthy bodies.
