The daughter of an 80-year-old woman states that her mother has been taking alendronate (Fosamax) ...

The daughter of an 80-year-old woman states that her mother has been taking alendronate (Fosamax) for several years for the treatment of osteoporosis. The daughter tells the nurse that her mother never had any complaints of nausea after taking this medication until recently. How should the nurse respond to the daughter's statement?
A)It could be that your mother's stomach empties more slowly than it used to, which is a normal result of aging.
B)As your mother gets older, the medication travels down her esophagus more slowly than it used to. This can cause nausea.
C)Because your mother processes drugs more slowly than when she was younger, there is more time during which they can cause nausea.
D)As your mother ages, she has more of the receptors that trigger nausea. This is a normal change that accompanies the aging process.
