Answer to Question 1

4
Long-term use of hydrogen ion antagonists may lead to vitamin B-12 deficiency because they decrease the absorption of the vitamin. The other choices are severe adverse effects of proton pump inhibitor medications.

Answer to Question 2

3
Elderly patients have a greater capillary refill time due to aging. Capillary refill greater than 5 seconds is significant. Capillary refill in non-elderly clients should be 3 seconds. Capillary refill in a non-elderly client of 4 seconds would be an abnormal finding. Capillary refill of 6 seconds for all clients is an abnormal assessment finding.
