Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

The elderly don't often get enough water in their diets. Their ability to detect thirst is reduced as they age and they may become confused or disoriented as a result of dehydration. Older adults should drink 9-11 cups of water each day.
Many elderly do not absorb vitamin B12 well as a result of a reduction in stomach acid and intrinsic factor that occurs with age. This can result in anemia and lethargy that could be mistaken for another condition. Some people may need to get injections of vitamin B12 or large doses of vitamin B12 by mouth to ensure adequate levels in the body. There are other nutrients that could be deficient in the elderly person's diet as well.
