Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Older adults need increased intake of foods with a high nutritional value and a concomitant decrease in the intake of foods containing little or no nutrients.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B
Enophthalmos is the appearance of sunken eyes and ectropion is when the lower eyelid falls away from conjunctiva, causing decreased lubrication, both of which are age-related changes. Erythematosus refers to the presence of erythema, eschar is the necrotic scab on a wound, and exophthalmos is the protrusion of the eye.
