Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The patient receiving topical intranasal steroids should not be given vaccinations and immunizations because the immunologic response may be decreased.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Allow extra time to administer medication to the elderly. These individuals often are slower at swallowing medications and water. The nurse must be present for the administration of every medication.
