  2 . Number of platelets may slightly increase because fibrogen levels and coagulation factors increase
  3 . White blood cells production typically decreases with an increased incidence of infection
  4 . Blood volume is reduced owing to decreased muscle mass and metabolic rate
  A) 1, 2
  B) 1, 4
  C) 2, 3

Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Hematopoiesis may decline due to loss of active bone marrow. Blood volume is reduced in older adults because of decreased muscle mass and metabolic rate. Number of platelets may slightly decrease, although fibrogen levels and coagulation factors may increase. White blood cell production typically shows no real change. However, age-related changes in organs of the immune system can result in altered antigenantibody responses and increased incidence of infection.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Genetic makeup is a risk factor that an individual cannot control. Smoking, nutrition, and stress are lifestyle factors that an individual can control.
