Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Numerous prescription and over-the-counter medications are implicated in falls. Benzodiazepines have been studied, and it is suggested that their effect on psychomotor function increases the incidence of falls. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) has been associated with significant adverse effects on psychomotor skills.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
White non-Hispanic women have a higher incidence of osteoporosis. Corticosteroids and antiseizure medications are most frequently associated with secondary osteoporosis. White men and African Americans of both genders have a lower incidence of osteoporosis.
