Ans: A

Age-related physiologic changes include a weakening of bladder emptying, presbycusis, and a slow gait that may be accompanied by stooped posture. Disorientation to time, however, should always prompt the nurse to perform further assessment and should never be considered a normal accompaniment to the aging process.
