Answer to Question 1

D
Adequate fluid intake prevents urinary tract infections by assisting in urine production and voiding. Fluids prevent constipation and remove toxins from the gastrointestinal system. The respiratory system requires fluids to keep secretions thinned so that pathogens may be coughed out.

C
