Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The decreased circulation that occurs with aging will affect transdermal drug absorption. Difficulty swallowing would not affect transdermal drugs being absorbed. Kidney function affects drug excretion. Changes in pigmentation would not affect transdermal drug absorption.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Teratogens are drugs that cause birth defects. Carcinogens cause cancer. Metabolites are the end product of metabolism. Placebos are drugs that have no pharmacologic activity.
