1. colostrum is thin and watery with a bluish tinge.

true
false

Explanation:

Question 1

As people age, the skin's ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight decreases, and there may be changes in the body's utilization of vitamin D. So, vitamin D needs increase in older adulthood compared to younger adulthood.

Healthy older adults generally have the same fluid recommendations as healthy younger adults, as the basic physiological need for fluid to maintain hydration, support bodily functions etc. is similar, though factors like certain health conditions or medications in older adults might affect individual needs, but the general recommendation is the same.

Colostrum is thick, yellowish (not thin and watery with a bluish tinge). It is rich in antibodies and nutrients for the newborn.

Answer:

A. Increase
