Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data on an older adult client who is experiencing age related changes. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C

Choice A is incorrect because older adults often experience decreased balance due to changes in vision, muscle strength, and coordination.
Choice B is incorrect as older adults are more likely to experience decreased bone density rather than increased calcification.
Choice D is incorrect as aging typically leads to a decrease in muscle mass, known as sarcopenia.
