Explanation:

When the body has a reduced ability to eliminate drugs through the kidneys, with standard drug doses, the drugs are not removed as efficiently. This leads to a buildup of drugs in the plasma, increasing drug plasma concentrations. A higher dose is not required as the body already has trouble getting rid of the drug. Decreasing drug plasma concentrations does not happen as elimination is impaired. Increasing the frequency of drug administration would further increase the amount of drug in the body and is not appropriate.

Answer:

increased drug plasma concentrations when standard doses are given.
