  1. Tooth enamel is more pliable.
  2. The loss of bone density with aging results in tooth decay and breakage.
  3. Increases in saliva production increase exposure of the tooth's enamel to corrosive agents.
  4. Metabolic changes in aging contribute to dental destruction.

Question 2

The nurse determines that a patient's body mass index (BMI) is 22 kg/m2. Based on this finding, what should the nurse conclude?

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Changes in bone health related to aging increase the risk of tooth loss and teeth fractures. Tooth enamel becomes more brittle with aging. Saliva production decreases with aging. Metabolic changes do not cause dental decay or fractures.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
BMI should be between 19 and 25 kg/m2. The patient's weight is within a healthful range. The patient does not need to lose weight. Obesity is indicated by a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 or greater. A BMI under 19 would be below normal.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
