Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Comorbidity is the coexistence of more than one chronic physical and/or mental illness in the same person at the same time. This complicates diagnosis and treatment of illness in older adults. The 72-year-old client with hypertension and asthma has comorbidities. The other clients would not be considered as having comorbidities.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. A loss of skeletal muscle is a musculoskeletal system change associated with aging. Increased reaction time is a neurological system change associated with aging. Loss of verbal ability and increased verbal memory are not changes expected with aging. Urine flow change is not associated with aging.
