Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Walking the client to the bathroom encourages voiding prior to bedtime. Urinary incontinence is a major factor that impacts placement in an institution. Fluid intake should be carefully timed and should be about 2,000 mL per day. Diphenhydramine relaxes bladder muscles, which can lead to urinary retention and incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
A number of medications can cause diarrhea in the older adult (e.g., Cimetidine, laxatives, antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, and cholinesterase inhibitors). Additionally, Clostridium difficile and its related diarrhea are related to antibiotic usage.
