Answer to Question 1

B, D
Feedback:
Monitoring heart rate and blood pressure of older adults who use inhaled bronchodilators is important because these medications commonly cause tachycardia and hypertension. Either or both of these effects increase the risks for complications, especially in older adults with underlying cardiovascular disease.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Suppositories are the most common form of rectal administration. Enemas and ointments are possible, but less commonly used than suppositories. An ointment, if it contains medication, is a form of inunction.
