Answer to Question 1

C
A critical aspect of nursing care following liver transplantation is monitoring for infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Older persons can dehydrate easily because of the 10 to 15 decline in total body fluid. Older persons dissipate heat less effectively, so they are more susceptible to heat stroke. The reverse of choice D is correct: Because the number and size of muscle fibers decline, grip strength declines.
