Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Adverse effects of medications in an elderly patient are likely because of physiologic changes associated with aging, pathologic changes due to disease processes, multiple drugs for acute and chronic disorders, impaired memory and cognition, and difficulty in complying with drug orders. The question does not address the interaction of other medications. The question does not identify any herbal supplements. Based on physiologic alterations, the patient will not have increased metabolism of the medication.
