The Beer’s Criteria medication list unsafe for older adults

The Beer’s criteria contain a list of drugs that are potentially unsafe for use in older persons. Go to https://www.sigot.org/allegato_docs/1057_Beers-Criteria.pdf. Select a drug on the “avoid” list that you have administered to an older patient or a drug that you know is prescribed for an older adult. Relate the outcome of using this drug to the pharmacokinetics (absorption, metabolism, distribution, and excretion) of drugs in an older client. In addition to the link, cite one other reference to support your post.
