Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Antacids impair medication absorption by changing the pH and surface area of the gastric lining. Many drugs are formulated to be absorbed in an acidic environment, and antacids make the environment more alkaline.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, F
These are the components that need to be assessed. Organizational skills and work ethic are more related to personality type than to culture.
