Correct Answer: A, C, D


Rationale:
A: Polypharmacy is a risk factor because older adults often take multiple medications, increasing the likelihood of drug interactions and adverse reactions.
C: Multiple health problems can impact the body's ability to metabolize and excrete medications properly, leading to higher risk of adverse drug reactions.
D: Decreased renal function in older adults can result in decreased drug clearance, causing medications to accumulate in the body and increase the risk of adverse reactions.

Incorrect

Choices:
B: Increased rate of absorption is not typically a risk factor for adverse drug reactions in older adults. Slower absorption may actually be a concern due to delayed onset of action.
E: Decreased percentage of body fat is not directly related to adverse drug reactions. Body fat percentage may affect drug distribution but is not a primary risk factor for adverse reactions.
