Seventy-eight-year-old Zahra, an avid fan of Spanish-speaking television programs, is experiencing significant inability to recall what happened in the last episode of her favorite novella. Worried about her memory problems, Zahra makes an appointment with her doctor. What is the most likely explanation for Zahra's lapse in short-term memory?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A.  She is reacting to a new medication her doctor recently prescribed.

Explanation:

Psychologically, the medication works differently in older adults. Adults who are mostly above 65 years old are faced with side effects from the medications. These side effects may include memory loss, falls, weaknesses, etc.

This happens because in older adults medication takes a longer time, compared to other age groups, to break down and get absorbed.

So, the correct answer is option A.
