Answer to Question 1

D
Disorientation may be a sign of dehydration, which is common in older adults, partly because their thirst mechanism is diminished. Iron deficiency anemia causes tiredness, but not disorienta-tion. Severe malnutrition may affect mental acuity, but is less likely than dehydration. Edema causes swelling, but does not usually affect orientation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Providing fresh fruit versus crackers and cookies is better option. Crackers and cookies can contain solid fats and extra sugar that are not needed by the children. The fresh fruit will also provide more essential nutrients.
