Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

The elderly often consume diets deficient in vitamins C, D, B6, and B12, folate, calcium, zinc, iron, calories, and protein. Lack of calories and protein may cause protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). They often dislike food in facilities, may have difficulty chewing high-protein food sources, have depressed appetites and chewing or swallowing problems, or may be lonely and depressed; drugs may dull appetite.
