Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Drug dosages are adjusted according to the older adult's weight, adipose tissue, laboratory results (e.g., serum protein, electrolytes, liver enzymes, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine), and current health problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
An increase in alkaline gastric secretions may affect the absorption of medications, because gastric motility, gastric emptying time, and peristalsis are all decreased with increased alkaline gastric secretions.
