Question :
The major impact of the physiological changes that occur with
aging is:


Student Reduced physiological reserve
Answer:
Reduced homeostatic mechanisms

Impaired immunological response

All of the above

Instructor The major impact of all of these physiological changes can be highlighted
Explanation: with three primary points. First, there is a reduced physiological reserve of
most body systems, particularly cardiac, respiratory, and renal. Second,
there are reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to adjust regulatory
systems such as temperature control and fluid and electrolyte balance.
Third, there is impaired immunological function: infection risk is greater,
and autoimmune diseases are more prevalent. (Kennedy-Malone 3)

Less estrogen than women

Instructor Men have faster and more efficient biotransformation, presumably because
Explanation: of serum testosterone. Conditions of increased or decreased liver perfusion
alter the overall level of the drug that is absorbed and how it is
metabolized. (Kennedy-Malone 5)

Question 3 Question :
. The cytochrome p system involves enzymes that are generally:


Student Inhibited by drugs
Answer:
Induced by drugs

Inhibited or induced by drugs

Associated with decreased liver perfusion

Instructor Biotransformation occurs in all body tissues but primarily in the liver,
Explanation: where enzymatic activity (cytochrome P [CYP] system) alters and
detoxifies the drug and prepares it for excretion. (Kennedy-Malone 5)

Question 4 Question :
. Functional abilities are best assessed by:


Student Self-report of function
Answer:
Observed assessment of function

A comprehensive head-to-toe examination

Family report of function

Instructor Two well-established tools used to evaluate function in older adults are the
Explanation: Katz Activities of Daily Living Scale (Katz et al., 1963) and the Lawton
and Brody scale for Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Lawton &
Brody, 1969). It is important to be cautious about self-report of function
(rather than direct observation of function) and to ask, “Do you …?”
instead of “Can you …?” in order to determine if patients actually perform
the activity. (Kennedy-Malone 40)

Question 5 Question :
. Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is classified as a microcytic,
hypochromic anemia. This classification refers to which of the
following laboratory data?


Student Answer: Hemoglobin and Hematocrit

Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and Mean Corpuscular

Hemoglobin (MCH)

Serum ferritin and serum iron

Total iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation

Instructor RBC indices reveal an MCV (mean corpuscular volume/RBC size) that
Explanation: will be decreased to <80 fL in adults; MCH (mean corpuscular
hemoglobin/RBC color) will show hypochromia or pale cells; RBC
distribution width (RDW)/volume variation will be increased.

Question 6 Question :
. When interpreting laboratory data, you would expect to see the
following in a patient with Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD):


Student Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH decreased
Answer:
Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV increased, MCH increased

Hemoglobin <12 g/dl, MCV normal, MCH normal

Hemoglobin >12 g/dl, MCV decreased, MCH increased

Instructor Hemoglobin (Hgb): <12 g/dL (120 g/L) women <13 g/dL (130 g/L) men
Explanation: Rarely <10 g/dL (100 g/L) Mean corpuscular volume: 80–96 mcm3
(normocytic) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin Normochromic (normal
color) RBC distribution width: normal (Kennedy-Malone page 517)
