Chapter 1. Changes With Aging

MULTIPLE CHOICE
Identify The Choice That Best Completes The Statement Or Answers The Question.
1. The Major Impact Of The Physiological Changes That Occur With Aging Is:
A. Reduced Physiological Reserve
B. Reduced Homeostatic Mechanisms
C. Impaired Immunological Response
D. All Of The Above
ANS: D Pts: 1
Aging Affects Nearly Every Body System. Physiological Reserve—The Body’s Ability
To Respond To Stress—Declines With Age. Homeostatic Mechanisms, Such As
Temperature Regulation And Fluid Balance, Become Less Efficient. Immunological
Function Also Decreases, Increasing The Risk Of Infection And Poor Wound Healing.
Because All Three Occur With Aging
2. The Strongest Evidence Regarding Normal Physiological Aging Is Available Through:
A. Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials
B. Cross-Sectional Studies
C. Longitudinal Studies
D. Case Control Studies
ANS: C Pts: 1
, Longitudinal Studies Follow The Same Individuals Over Time, Allowing Researchers To
Distinguish Normal Aging Changes From Disease-Related Or Cohort Effects. Cross-
Sectional Studies Compare Different Age Groups At One Point, Often Confounding
Aging With Generational Differences. Therefore, Longitudinal Studies Provide The
Strongest Evidence About True Physiological Aging.
3. All Of The Following Statements Are True About Laboratory Values In Older Adults
Except:
A. Reference Ranges Are Preferable
B. Abnormal Findings Are Often Due To Physiological Aging
C. Normal Ranges May Not Be Applicable For Older Adults
D. Reference Values Are Not Necessarily Acceptable Values
ANS: B Pts: 1
Abnormal Lab Values Should Not Be Automatically Attributed To Aging. Older Adults
Often Have Atypical Presentations, But Abnormal Labs Usually Indicate Pathologic
Processes, Not Normal Aging. Reference Ranges Based On Younger Adults Often Fail
To Reflect Older Adults’ Physiology, So A, C, And D Are True.
4. Biochemical Individuality Is Best Described As:
A. Each Individual’s Variation Is Often Much Greater Than That Of A Larger Group
B. The Unique Biochemical Profile Of A Selected Population
C. The Truly “Normal” Individual—Falling Within Average Range
D. What The Body Does To The Drug
ANS: D Pts: 1
