Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should be aware that some medications have reactions with certain foods. It is not necessary that medications be taken with bland diet for easier absorption; the nurse should know if the client's diet interferes with the effectiveness of the medication. It is not necessary to alternate medications with similar functions. The nurse need not know clients' likes and dislikes about certain food products, which may affect medication absorption.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Homeostasis is the physical and emotional equilibrium and involves an individual's cumulative chemical reactions, physical condition, and emotional status.
Chemistry is the science concerned with the structure and composition of matter and the chemical reactions these substances can produce. Physics is the science of the laws of matter and their interaction with energy. Chemistry is the basis for homeostasis, the dynamic interactions between anatomy and physiology.
