Answer to Question 1

C
In the teachinglearning process, the steps of the nursing process (assessment, diagnosis, goals, interventions, and evaluation) may occur simultaneously and repetitively. The teachinglearning process is a dynamic, continuous activity that occurs throughout the entire hospitalization and may continue after the patient has been discharged.

Answer to Question 2

D
Reduced drug-metabolizing capacity is caused by a decline in activity of the drug-metabolizing enzyme system, microsomal ethanol oxidizing system, and decrease in total liver blood flow. Medications that depend on the cytochrome P450 group of liver enzymes are most affected because age-associated changes cause as much as a 50 decline in enzymatic function.

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).
