face area, > pH, less GI motility, de-
creased gastric emptying)

enzymes
8. Excretion impacted by renal blood
flow, decreased GFR, lower number
of nephrons
6. What baseline information is need- Liver and renal labs;
ed to prescribe for older adults Elderly have an enlarged liver, de-
based on pharmacokinetics and creased blood flow to both liver and
