Explanation:

2. The older couple is generally more financially secure, but when their "baby" is ready for college, the older couple may be close to retirement and might not have the means to provide for their child.
3. The older couple may also be forced to face their own mortality. Older expectant parents may confront the issue earlier as they consider what will happen as their child grows.
4. Managing adverse effects would be a part of a presentation on physiologic issues of older pregnant clients.
5. The family's and friends' responses to the pregnancy may be mixed since it will affect relationships and lifestyle.
