Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: When antibiotics are used in older adults with diabetes, they are usually prescribed at higher doses for longer periods of time to ensure complete eradication of the offending organism. These higher doses place the person at risk for medication side effects and drug interactions, including development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
