Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Childproof caps may be difficult to remove for older adults with arthritis or decreased strength or motor function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Cimetidine is not recommended for the older adult because of its side effects and multiple potential drug interactions. Famotidine, nizatidine, and ranitidine may be prescribed for the geriatric client instead of cimetidine.
