Answer to Question 2
Ans: A, B, C
A healthy older adult in a comfortable environment will experience few, if any, functional consequences of altered thermoregulation. In the presence of any risk factor, however, hypothermia or heat-related illness may develop in an older adult. Even moderately adverse environmental temperatures can precipitate hypothermia or heat-related illness in an older adult, especially in the presence of additional predisposing factors, such as certain medications or pathologic conditions. Age-related changes, which can affect processes involved with heat loss or production, begin during the fifth decade, and their cumulative effects are experienced during the seventh or eighth decade.
