Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C, D

Regular physical activity results in a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, and hypertension. It does not decrease the risk of skin cancer or renal disease.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

A poor intake of water could indicate a loss of the thirst response, which occurs as a normal age-related change. Since the client only ingests 2 glasses of water each day, this could indicate a reduction in the normal thirst response. Skin turgor is a poor indicator of fluid balance in an older adult client. An elevated blood pressure could indicate fluid volume overload or sodium sensitivity. A body mass index within normal limits would not contribute to dehydration. A body mass index associated with overweight or obesity could be associated with dehydration, as fat cells contain little or no water.
