Question 1 of 5
What is a normal age-related change for the nervous system?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Some hearing loss occurs. As individuals age, the nerve cells in the inner ear can become damaged, leading to gradual hearing loss. This is a normal age-related change due to wear and tear on the auditory system. Reflexes do not speed up with age (A), taste sensitivity tends to decrease rather than intensify (B), and vision typically worsens rather than improves as people age (D). Overall, the gradual decline in hearing ability is a common and expected change in the nervous system as people get older.

Propping the eyes open (B) is unnecessary and can be unsettling for others. Leaving on the oxygen (D) is not part of postmortem care and can be removed once death has been confirmed.
