Answer:

d. recall that it will take a less severe mechanism of injury to cause significant injuries.

Explanation:

In older people their bodies have less amount of important cells and tissues in the body. These cells and tissues are beneficial in protection of the body against harm or disease.

Older people usually have osteoclasts which digests and weakens the bone. This poses a greater risk of injury with less severe mechanism of injury.

Depleted blood cells in older people also makes it hard for them to produce the right amount of inflammatory and clotting responses when an injury occurs which makes it more severe compared to younger people.

How could you best help people with eating disorder
Elodia [21]
You can help someone with an eating disorder by talking with them and listening to them. Therapy helps, sometimes along with mental hospitals. Understand what an eating disorder is before you try helping someone that suffers with it. Just like someone who suffers with depression or anxiety, you don’t always know what the individual is going through. Something that sounds dramatic or weird to you may be completely normal and everyday issues for someone suffering with any kind of mental disorder. So always try to be open minded and understand when trying to help an individual with an eating disorder or any kind of mental illness. I hope this helps you.
