How does aging affect drug absorption in elderly patients?
...... ANSWER ....... Aging leads to decreased gastric
pH, decreased peristalsis, and reduced GI blood flow.
What changes occur in drug distribution in elderly patients?
...... ANSWER ....... Elderly patients have increased fat
content, decreased body mass and albumin, and decreased
body water.
How does metabolism change in elderly patients? ......
ANSWER ....... Elderly patients experience a slower
first-pass effect.

What are the distribution characteristics of drugs in pediatric
patients? ...... ANSWER ....... Pediatric patients have
low fat content, decreased protein binding, increased
blood-brain barrier permeability, and dehydration.
How does metabolism in pediatric patients differ from
adults? ...... ANSWER ....... Pediatric patients have an
immature first-pass effect, while older children may have
increased metabolism.
What is the effect of immature kidney function on drug
excretion in pediatric patients? ...... ANSWER .......
Decreased perfusion and immature kidney function lead to
decreased drug excretion.
