Answer to Question 1

B
Assess for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis, which is the most common ERCP complication. These signs and symptoms include increasingly intense abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diminished or absent bowel sounds.

Answer to Question 2

A

Creativity in suggesting pastimes that can stimulate movement may be a key to increasing opportunities for activity. Isometric exercises should be avoided by persons with impaired mobility. Expectations for older adults should not be lowered. Doing for elderly persons makes them sedentary.
