• Poor vision: If a person has poor vision, they may misread the instructions on a medication bottle. So, "Mrs. Vincent took her medication more often than was written on the bottle" matches with "poor vision".
• Reduced sense of smell and taste: A person with reduced sense of smell and taste may not be able to detect spoiled food. So, "Mr. Simon had food poisoning from drinking spoiled milk" matches with "reduced sense of smell and taste".
• Reduced sense of hearing: A person with reduced sense of hearing may not hear a smoke alarm. So, "Mr. Watson did not hear his smoke alarm in time to escape from a fire in his home" matches with "reduced sense of hearing".
