Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Larger-than-usual doses of morphine are required to treat pain in opiate-tolerant people. The patient has not developed a dependence on morphine. A patient with metastatic cancer will require increasing pain management, but this feature is not the rationale for the patient's statement. The increased pain is not related to inactivity.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
African American women and Mexican American men and women have the highest rates of overweight and obesity in the United States.
