Answer to Question 1

B
Approximately 66 of residents in nursing homes who develop pressure ulcers die. Pressure ulcers are a very serious health problem that can lead to pain, prolonged hospital stays, and infection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Antibiotics do not generally contribute to constipation; they contribute to diarrhea. Certain antacids, diuretics, and sedatives, along with other drugs, can lead to constipation.
