Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Ongoing antacid use and complaints of indigestion can indicate cardiac problems and cause electrolyte imbalances due to the composition of common antacids. Urinary incontinence, urinary retention, coagulation disorders, anemia, hyperlipidemia, and arteriosclerosis are not associated with the chronic use of antacids.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse should announce when entering or leaving the room, so that a blind person is not put in the position of talking to someone who is no longer there.
