  b. Elderly clients are known to sue if medications taken do not make them feel better, and lawsuits are to be avoided, if possible.
  c. Folk or herbal medicines are often the same as the generic medications prescribed by health care providers, so elderly often have overdoses.
  d. Older adults are known to consume many over-the-counter medications, as well as folk or herbal remedies.
  e. The elderly are known to be particularly noncompliant with pharmaceutical prescriptions.
  f.
