Answer to Question 1

B
Age-related gastrointestinal changes include a decrease in intestinal pH, which lowers the ability of the gastrointestinal tract to absorb B vitamins.

Answer to Question 2

C
Alcohol and substance abuse increase the risk of hypothermia because of decreased awareness and impaired judgment. Four drinks a day is excessive. Skin conditions can lead to hypothermia, but the rash is confined to the arms. The other two conditions are not risk factors.
