Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Although Parkinson's disease may affect people of any age, gender, or nationality, the frequency of the disease increases with age. This debilitating condition, which affects men more often than women, may be one of many chronic problems associated with aging.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
A child's dose is never based on an adult's dose. A child's dosage is based on weight and age and will change with age as they grow. Larger than directed dosages can result in toxic effects of this medication.
