Answer to Question 1

B
The incidence of cholelithiasis increases with aging. Assess older adults for history of changes in stool or urine color. Cirrhosis of the liver may cause distention in veins in upper part of body.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A grabber device helps the client grasp items that otherwise may be out of reach. While assuring that a call light in reach increases safety and reduces powerlessness, it does not promote independence. A person in a wheelchair does not need a feeding tool.
