Question 1 of 5

During an assessment of an older adult, the nurse should expect which finding as a normal physiologic change associated with the aging process?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. With aging, peripheral blood vessels become more rigid, leading to increased systolic blood pressure. This is due to decreased elasticity and increased collagen deposition in the vessel walls. This change is a normal part of aging and is known as arteriosclerosis. The narrowing of the inferior vena cava (
A) and atrophy of intramuscular calf veins (
B) are not normal age-related changes but rather pathological conditions that can lead to venous insufficiency. Hormonal changes causing vasodilation and a drop in blood pressure (
D) are not typically associated with aging but may occur in certain conditions.
