Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Although differences among various Asian American groups exist, two similarities are strong family networks and the expectation that family members will care for their elders at home. They do not necessarily reject modern technology and neither reluctance to express feelings nor the tendency to preserve traditions would account for the phenomenon noted.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The pancreas experiences fibrosis, atrophy, and fatty acid deposits, along with a reduction in pancreatic secretions; this can affect the digestion of fats and contribute to intolerance for fatty foods. The decrease in hydrochloric acid can interfere with the absorption of calcium, iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12 . There are fewer cells on the absorbing surface of the intestinal walls affecting the absorption of dextrose, xylose, calcium, iron, and vitamins B, B12, and D.
