Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Extended-care facilities (ECFs) extend or continue care started in the hospital. Facilities that are considered ECFs include subacute-care or transitional facilities, medically complex care facilities, long-term rehabilitation units, and long-term care (LTC) facilities or skilled nursing facilities (SNF) (nursing homes).

Answer to Question 2

B, C
Feedback:
The capsule may be used to delay (not enhance) the medication's absorption over time or because the medication has a disagreeable taste. A caplet shape makes it easier for the client to swallow the pill. With enteric-coated tablets, the coating does not dissolve until the tablet reaches the intestine, because the medication can irritate the stomach mucosa.
