Answer to Question 1

C
Melanocyte production decreases; eccrine, apocrine, and sebaceous glands decrease in size, number, and function, leading to dryness and itching. Body temperature regulation diminishes, capillary blood flow decreases, and vascular fragility causes senile purpura.

Answer to Question 2

D
Treatment of sickle cell anemia includes seeking medical care at the first sign of an infection, being immunized for viral infections such as influenza, maintaining good hydration, avoid extreme heat or cold, and giving narcotics to assist with pain management in crisis episodes.
