Answer to Question 1

D
A loss of 20 of body fluid in an adult is fatal.

The senescence stage is the last stage of the life cycle, which requires the individual to cope with a large range of changes. For the older adult the family unit continues to be a major source of satisfaction and pleasure. Most older adults prefer to live independently.
