Unfortunately... You're better off keeping that VP shunt in your head. VP Shunts are usually kept in for a long time, which actually can cause a problem where skin and tissue attaches to the tube. VP Shunt removals are risky, because that means, that they would have to separate the tissues that have become attached to it, which can create major complications, especially when brain tissue is involved. You also run the risk of severe infection from doing so... The Shunt removal especially for such a long time period is better avoided, but it is possible, but you should probably bring it up with your PCP and a neurosurgeon or neurologist.
On the bright side, you can actively participate in sports just as long as it is not a contact sport, which risks contact with the shunt.
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.
It can affect the environment because it could absorb into the ground and contaminate the groundwater, then this could runoff into a pond, river, lake, etc., which would then contaminate that water source. This also negatively impacts wildlife because they rely on these water sources to drink water, bathe, and/or catch food (ex: a bear catching a fish in a river).
