Answer to Question 1

A
The joint of an older adult with OA is narrower than a normal joint, and as the disease advances, crepitus is palpable over the joint. The joint narrows as it degenerates, and crepitus occurs as the articulating surfaces of the bone abnormally move against each other. Disease in symmetrical joints is characteristic of RA. Morning stiffness lasting for 1 hour or more is characteristic of polymyalgia rheumatica. Swelling from excessive synovial fluid is characteristic of RA.

Answer to Question 2

D
Serum T3 and pepsin secretion both decrease with aging. Creatinine clearance declines, but insu-lin secretion normally remains stable. Saliva production decreases, but blood carbon dioxide normally remains unchanged. Left ventricle-wall thickness and skin healing time both increase with aging.
