hepatic metabolism
» Older patients often take several medications so drug
interactions and side effect are likely
» Anti-cholinergic side effect may worsen cognitive impairment
and lead to delirium
» Age also is associated with diminished vascular tone, which
increases susceptibility to orthostasis and falls
» Involvement of other available resources in the management
plan
