Answer to Question 1
1, 2, 3, 4
Rationale: Hypoactive bowel sounds may indicate the client has a decreased rate of peristalsis, which negatively influences bioavailability of medications. Complaints of nausea after eating can indicate the client has a reduced rate of gastric emptying, which can diminish the bioavailability of medications. A client with chronic pancreatitis may not be secreting digestive enzymes to help break down the medication. This negatively impacts bioavailability. The client with gastroesophageal reflux disease who takes a proton pump inhibitor has an increased pH in their stomach. The increased pH decreases bioavailability of medications. Medications are broken down more quickly with more acidic gastric secretions. The client's urinary tract infection will not impact bioavailability. However, if the client had a problem with their liver, this may impact their ability to produce bile and this would negatively impact medication bioavailability.
Answer to Question 2
B
Functional foods contain physiologically active food components. Probiotics contain live micro-organisms thought to be beneficial to the body. Dietary supplements contain natural or synthetic nutrients in an isolated form. Complementary is used to describe nontraditional therapies used alongside conventional treatments, rather than to describe foods.
