Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The presence of protein in the urine in significant amounts indicates cellular injury and altered cellular function. Neither glucose nor blood is normally present in the urine, but its presence is not indicative of altered cellular function. Urea is an expected substance in the kidney.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Frailty leaves the individual vulnerable to falls, disease, and death. Sarcopenia is loss of muscle mass. It is associated with aging but is not as severe as frailty. Somatic death is death of the whole person. Cellular aging occurs at the cellular level and is characteristic of aging, including cell atrophy, decreased function, and loss of cells.
