Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The structure of the gallbladder and bile ducts is unchanged with age. Cholelithiasis, the formation or presence of gallstones in the gallbladder, increases with age. Treatment measures include nonsurgical therapies, such as rotary lithotrite treatment and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, as well as standard surgical procedures.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The client is healthy and active with no sensory perception difficulties. Slower peristalsis is the only age-related change.
