Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Older adults commonly experience insomnia, anxiety, and other sleep-related disorders, and are more likely to receive prescriptions for sedatives such as benzodiazepines. However, caution should be exercised due to the risk of adverse effects such as increased falls, cognitive impairment, and addiction. Stimulants, narcotics, and codeine are not typically prescribed as often for older adults.
