Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
It is thought that there is no loss of intelligence or knowledge and little or no loss of vocabulary with aging, although response time is slower than in younger persons. Slower responses may af-fect new learning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Tubular secretory mechanisms and the ability to concentrate urine are diminished. In addition, cardiovascular disease, dehydration, and kidney disease commonly impair renal functioning. Thus the half-life of a drug may be increased by as much as 40. Because drugs remain in the body longer, adverse and toxic effects are possible. Declines in renal function may be exagger-ated by comorbid illness such as chronic hypertension and anemia, which have close associations with chronic kidney disease.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
