Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A The older adult patient has reduced tactile sense, which decreases the patient's ability to respond to early warning signs of surgical complications, including sensing pressure over bony prominences.
B The older adult patient has a lower basal metabolic rate, reducing total oxygen consumption.
C Rigidity of arterial walls is seen in the older adult.
D The older adult patient is likely to have a reduced glomerular filtration rate. This limits the body's ability to eliminate drugs or toxic substances.

Answer to Question 2

B
Adults should accumulate 30 minutes or more a day of moderate-intensity (brisk) physical activ-ity on most (or all) days of the week, for a weekly total of three to four hours.
One hour per week or 15 minutes a day for four days is not the recommended amount of time for exercise for adults.
One hour per day, for a weekly total of seven hours is not the recommended amount of time for exercise for adults.
Ten minutes a day, for a total of one hour per week is not the recommended amount of time for exercise for adults.
