Answer to Question 1

D
The patient with an arrhythmia should decrease caffeine intake. Tea has as much caffeine as cof-fee does, or more. All other options will reduce the caffeine intake.

Answer to Question 2

A
Sudden confusion and irritability may indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI) in the older adult. There is no supportive information indicating issues with the patient's antihypertensive medica-tions or the presence of a fecal impaction.
