Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The plan of care must consider the increased fragility of the older adult's skin, and special care must be taken to prevent loss of skin integrity. More frequent vital signs would be determined by status, not age. Handwashing should be performed for all clients. The older adult normally will need lower dosages of sedatives, not higher dosages.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The minim is the basic unit of volume in the apothecaries' system.
