Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased risk for vaginal infections is an expected finding for an older adult female patient due to changes in hormones and vaginal pH that occur with aging. Enlarged clitoris and copious vaginal secretions are not typical findings in older adult women, and decreased risk for painful intercourse may not necessarily be true for all older adult women as this can depend on various factors such as menopausal status and overall health.
