Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Adequate fluid and fiber intake are central to GI health in older adults. Organic foods are not noted to have a particular beneficial effect on GI health. Fats may not be well tolerated with the decrease in pancreatic enzymes present. Food and fluids should not be decreased.

Answer to Question 2

B
Callus formation occurs when the osteoblasts continue to lay the network for bone build-up and osteoclasts destroy dead bone.
