Answer to Question 1

B, D
Baked potato, yogurt, and bananas are good sources for potassium. Box 14-4 in Chapter 14 lists additional food sources for magnesium.

Answer to Question 2

A
In addition to the usual side effects and adverse effect of opioids, an older adult is at risk for low vision. The pupil of the older adult does not dilate fully and less light enters the eye, reducing vision. When the older patient takes an opioid drug, the pupil is even smaller than usual, reducing vision even more. This problem increases the older patient's risk for tripping over objects and falling.
