Dehydration is a serious problem in the elderly. Elderly bodies contain less water than younger bodies, and can become dehydrated more quickly. Many older adults restrict fluid intake so they won't have to get up in the night to go to the bathroom (and risk a fall). Additionally, elderly people are less sensitive to the "thirst" signal from the brain, and less responsive to dry mouth, and may not react to their thirst by seeking fluids. Which of the following are consequences of dehydration?
a. confusion and disorientation
b. more urinary tract infections
c. greater risk for skin ulcers (pressure ulcers, commonly referred to as bed sores)
d. more susceptible to the effects of stress, fever, hot weather, etc.
e. All of the above are conditions that can occur with dehydration.
