Answer to Question 1

D
An older adult who has type 2 diabetes should have a regular exercise and diet plan. Activity is not limited because of a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Responses A, B, and C are appropriate topics for a teaching plan.

Answer to Question 2

B
The number of medications and the complexity of the medication regimen have a direct correlation with increased adverse drug reactions and emergency department visits by older adults. Responses A, C, and D all are possible contributing factors to medication error, but they are not supported by the case presentation.
