Answer 1

The correct answer is:3. A notable "S" curve of the spinal columnExplanation: A notable "S" curve of the spinal column is indicative of normal changes in the musculoskeletal system of an older adult patient. This curvature is a natural part of aging and helps maintain balance and posture. The other options listed are not typical of normal aging and may indicate underlying health issues that require further investigation.
