Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about age-related changes that affect medication administration for older adult clients. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Renal excretion time slows for medication. B. Brain receptors become less sensitive to medications. C. Gastric emptying rate increases. D. Hepatic enzymes process medications more rapidly.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Renal excretion time slows for medication. As people age, kidney function decreases, leading to a slower excretion of medications. This can result in medications accumulating in the body and potentially causing adverse effects.
Choice B is incorrect because aging typically leads to increased sensitivity to medications due to changes in metabolism and body composition.
Choice C is incorrect as gastric emptying rate tends to decrease with age, not increase.
Choice D is incorrect because hepatic enzymes actually process medications more slowly in older adults.
