Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Antihypertensives may cause an alteration in the sense of taste.
B Anti-inflammatories cause increased appetite and weight gain.
C Decreased drug absorption may occur when diuretics, such as furosemide, are administered with food. Furosemide does not affect the patient's sense of taste.
D Analgesics may cause decreased drug absorption with food.

Answer to Question 2

D
In a long-term care setting, facilities should make proper arrangements for privacy for a resident's sexual expressions.
The client's sexuality is not a topic approached when a client is being admitted.
Clients may wrongly believe that their condition prohibits sexual activity, or they may need some guidance to promote satisfactory sexual functioning.
Effective communication about sexuality requires sensitivity and tact.
