Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
In the Jewish culture, medical care is encouraged but may be opposed during the Sabbath. Exceptions may be made for the seriously ill. The other choices are not true of the Jewish culture.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Tooth loss is not a normal aging change. Esophageal motility and stomach motility decrease with advanced age causing presbyesophagus. The stomach has a higher pH as a result of the declines in hydrochloric acid and pepsin (converted pepsinogen), which can interfere with the absorption of proteins. The tongue atrophies, affecting the taste buds and decreasing taste sensations.
