Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse's role includes careful monitoring to prevent complications, such as drug extravasation from intravenous administration. Signs and symptoms for extravasation include pain or swelling at the infusion site, redness, or burning.

Answer to Question 2

A
In older adults, muscles of respiration become less flexible and capacity decreases, resulting in dyspnea on exertion or stress. The cough mechanism weakens, increasing the risk for lung infection. Gas exchange is less effective, and structural changes can decrease diaphragmatic expansion.
