Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because older patients are more susceptible to heat intolerance owing to decreased body fluid and decreased sweating, extreme caution should be used when an anticholinergic drug is given that reduces sweating still further and can result in heat stroke. Older adults are not more susceptible to diarrhea, urinary frequency, and hypotension.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Type II cells produce surfactant. Erythrocytes are made in the bone marrow. Lymphatic fluid is produced by lymph glands; pleural fluid is secreted by cells in the pleural cavity.
