You suspect that a 75-year-old man has internal injuries after he fell and struck
his ribs and abdomen on the corner of a table. When assessing and treating an
injured patient of this age, you must recall that:
a. Functional blood volume in patients of this age steadily increases due to
increased production of red blood cells.
b. It is not uncommon to observe heart rates in excess of 150 beats/min in
elderly patients with internal injuries.
c. His ability to physiologically compensate for his injury might be impaired
due to an inability to increase cardiac output.

d. Blood pressure is usually adequately maintained because the blood vessels
of older people can contract easily.
