Answer:

(1) The abuse could involve prescription drugs, (2) Screening questionnaires are too often not appropriate for older adults (4) Substance abuse is often undetected in older adults

Explanation:

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA] have rightly said that the use of prescription drugs by people to help them have fun, lose weight and do other things could amount to abuse.

They further stated that screening questionnaires may not be the best option to use while trying to get some information from elderly people, but some contents of these questions could be brought in when conversing with them for them to freely open up and provide the required information.

Adults, in some cases are not bold enough to talk about their involvement in taking alcohol and prescription drugs and that makes it difficult for substance abuse to be detected in them.

Mashcka [7]
Option A. True.

Neurotic is a class of functional mental disorders involving distress but neither delusions nor hallucinations. 
              - may be defined simply as a "poor ability to adapt to one's environment, an inability to change one's life patterns, and the inability to develop a richer, more complex, more satisfying personality.

They tend to have negative views to themselves and their emotions because they acquired negative notion within them as they grow up. I believe in a scripture that says, "what you sow, is what you reap."
