Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In elderly patients, one of the main concerns is undertreatment of pain.
Overdose is not likely in the elderly; in fact, undertreatment is more common.
Elderly patients do not have a high pain tolerance.
The elderly are not necessarily less sensitive to pain, even with a decrease in sensation overall as they age.
