Answer to Question 1

3 Rationale: The older adult requires as much fluid as any other athlete who is training at the same intensity. The older client should stick to a schedule when drinking fluids because their kidneys and sense of thirst have been altered as a result of age. This client has lost some muscle as a result of age and will most likely have a lower basal metabolic rate due to the muscle loss. They need to eat as much as anyone else who is training at the same intensity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
For nutrients whose amounts are based on a percentage of total calories, the DV is calculated on a 2000-calorie diet.

The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
