Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Age-related changes that predispose the older adult to digestive disorders include decreased hy-drochloric acid, inadequate chewing, diminished intestinal motility, and gastroesophageal sphincter incompetence. Age does not increase digestive enzyme levels.

Answer to Question 2

D
STIs are reported to the local public health agency for accumulation by the CDC. The local public health agency will get in touch with the sexual contacts of the patient and attempt to initiate treatment.
