Answer: B- Dehydration

Explanation: This imbalance in older adults is a result of taking less protein in nutrition and lessened feeling of thirst as they can go for many hours without being thirsty.

However, this imbalance can also be due to the kind of medications administered to them in a nursing home which weakens their intake of water. Notwithstanding, total body water reduces by age so dehydration is most common among older adults.
