Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The protein level is high. The specific gravity, WBCs, and glucose values are normal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Although changes in appetite are normal with aging, a 20-pound weight loss requires further investigation. Orthostatic drops in blood pressure, changes in sleep patterns, and slowing of reflexes are normal changes in aging.
