Answer to Question 1

5
five

Flexible sigmoidoscopy should be performed every 5 years. Endoscopy of the lower GI tract allows visualization and, if indicated, access to obtain biopsy specimens of tumors, polyps, or ulcerations of the anus, rectum, and sigmoid colon. The lower GI tract is difficult to visualize radiographically, but sigmoidoscopy allows direct visualization.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The work of gerontological clinical nurse specialists in acute hospitals has been shown to shorten the stay of elderly patients. Geriatric nurse practitioners decrease the cost of care for elderly patients in hospitals and improve the quality of care for elderly patients in ambulatory care settings. In acute hospitals, readmission rates post-discharge are lower when gerontological nurse specialists are employed.
