Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
RAT: Renal function declines with age, causing drug elimination to be slowed in older adults. Older adults have increased body fat. Liver dysfunction and hypoalbuminemia are not normal age-related changes but can be seen in association with disease states.
