Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Increased salivation is incorrect; oral dryness is an age-related change.
B Incidence of acid reflux is increased in the older adult, not decreased.
C Acid secretion is decreased in the older adult, not increased.
D Decreased nutrient absorption is a physiological age-related change.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A The deltoid muscle is not developed enough for an IM injection in the 1-year-old patient.
B The dorsogluteal site is not recommended because of the risk of the needle hitting the sciatic nerve.
C Research that has investigated complications associated with IM injection sites indicates that the ventrogluteal site is the preferred site for most injections given to adults and children.
D The vastus lateralis is a preferred site for infants younger than 12 months.
