Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
One of the most common side effects of opioid administration is constipation, which could be prevented by implementing a bowel protocol. Although monitoring respirations and sedative effects as well as starting at the lowest dose are important, these actions do not minimize GI issues.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Fluoride in the water, combined with good dental hygiene, has greatly affected the younger generation. Each generation is at risk for poor diet, or lack of knowledge, the older adults no more than today's children and young adults. Age-related changes do not predispose older people to caries.
