Answer to Question 1

1. Incontinence is a result of my increasing age..

Rationale:
Incontinence is not a normal result of aging. A disturbance of the bladder, relaxation of the pelvic muscles, and reduced urethral resistance are all potential factors in the development of incontinence.

Answer to Question 2

1. Loss of cells in the sinoatrial node.

Rationale:
Loss of cells in the sinoatrial node because of age-related changes is the most common cause of dysrhythmias in the older adult. Increased peripheral resistance, hypertension, and atherosclerosis are not common causes of cardiac dysrhythmias in older adults.
