Question 1 of 5
A nurse is discussing adverse reactions to pain medications in older adult clients with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following findings should the nurse include as risk factors for an adverse drug reaction? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,C,D
Rationale: The correct answers are B, C, and D. Older adults have decreased renal function, which can lead to drug accumulation and toxicity. Multiple health problems increase the likelihood of drug interactions and adverse reactions. Polypharmacy, or taking multiple medications, increases the risk of drug-drug interactions and side effects.
Choice A is incorrect because decreased body fat may affect drug distribution but is not a direct risk factor for adverse reactions.
Choice E, increased rate of absorption, is incorrect as it does not directly contribute to adverse reactions.
