Answer to Question 1

There is no conclusive evidence that the absorptive process is changed appreciably in older adults. Distribution, metabolism, and excretion are all affected significantly by aging.

The following laboratory tests are part of a workup for a change in mental status: Basic metabolic panel, vitamin D level, vitamin B12, thyroid stimulating panel. Serum albumin is not part of a de-mentia workup.
