` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



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 necessarilyacceptable values
` ` ` ` ` ` `




4. Biochemical individualityis best described as: ` ` ` ` `



A. Each individual’s variation is often much greater than that ofa larger
` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `



group
B. The unique biochemical profile of a selected population
` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` `



D.What the body does to the drug
` ` ` ` ` `

, D. The side effects commonly associated with the drug
` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

` ` ` ` ` ` ` `




anadverse drugreaction
