Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Many foods in a regular diet contribute to the daily fluid intake. A whole medium size apple contains 118 ml water. Other fruits and vegetables can also be a source of dietary water including: baked potatoes, oranges, green beans, and melons. Considering other sources of water can be especially important with the elderly because of a blunted response to poor hydration.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Consuming a healthy diet with an emphasis on plant food is a good strategy. Exercising 150 minutes per week and maintaining a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 are also good approaches.
