Answer to Question 1

D
Malabsorption of B12 can be caused by the effect of antibodies on gastric parietal cells and a de-crease in intrinsic factor, the underlying cause of pernicious anemia. The prevalence of pernicious anemia increases significantly with aging. Pernicious anemia is not associated with vitamin A, citrus, or iron.

Answer to Question 2

B
A cognitively intact adult has the right to have and view legal pornographic materials in the pri-vacy of his or her apartment. The director should inform the family of this information.
