Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Acidic drugs are better absorbed from an acidic environment; therefore the neonate with a higher gastric pH (more alkaline) will not more readily absorb acidic drugs.
B Incorrect. The neonate with a higher gastric pH (more alkaline) will not more readily absorb pH neutral drugs.
C Incorrect. Basic drugs are better absorbed from an alkaline environment, the more alkaline, the more readily absorbed. The slightly alkaline pH is better than acidic or neutral, but not as good as very alkaline.
D Correct. Basic drugs are better absorbed from an alkaline environment, the more alkaline, the more readily absorbed.

Answer to Question 2

C
There is a possibility that the patient has an early presentation of Hodgkin's disease. Further assessments will be ordered by the physician. The nurse should not assume that this problem is caused by poor hygiene. Telling the patient to come back in a month will delay treatment and could have unfortunate consequences.
