Answer to Question 1

2
Many older adult problems can be prevented or minimized if discovered early.

Answer to Question 2

C
Changes in serum electrolytes signal complications of refeeding syndrome. Rapid weight gain can overwhelm the heart, resulting in cardiovascular collapse. The other body assessment findings are not indicative of refeeding syndrome.
