Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Thirst perception declines with age, and so older persons are less aware of their fluid needs. This can be dangerous in hot weather. Natural sunlight would help with energy and depression. The residents may need assistance to get out of the sun. The effects of medications on body temperature may or may not be a concern since it would depend upon the resident and the medications being taken.
