Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Keeping active mentally is important by participating in volunteer organizations and activities in the community and being actively involved in church and political groups. Good nutrition and fluids are essential to physical health. Because of various factors related to aging, including decreased absorption of some substances, older people probably should take at least one basic multivitamin and mineral supplement. The nurse may wish to suggest to most clients (unless contraindicated because of other physical factors) that they exercise at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Nurses are in a position to help resolve polypharmacy issues and prevent problems. The first step is to implement the all system. Nurses request that all clients bring in all medications (including OTC) they are taking at all visits.

This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
