I have noooo idea what to choose for this! The elderly can have impaired immune systems, making them susceptible to infections that can take longer to heal. Which of the following would be most helpful in preventing these types of illnesses in the elderly? Older people should avoid exercise so that their bodies are not exposed to stress. Older people should regularly take antibiotics to prevent development of infection. Older people should be vaccinated for common viruses like the flu virus. Older people should consume large amounts of protein to boost their immune system.

I know it's not the first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is D. Or C..

OpenStudy (javk):

well...I know that protein boosts the immune system, as for the vaccines...I'm not quite so sure about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I know it's a tricky questions :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have feelings it's C.

OpenStudy (javk):

I think so too. The stomach can only take so much food...if they take large amounts of proteins, they will be missing out on other important nutrients because they just won't have space for them any more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah me too! :) But what do you think about B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey waitttt I just submitted my homework in and C was right!!

OpenStudy (javk):

I don't think so because most of the time the common colds are a result of viruses and antibiotics only inhibit bacterial growth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks dude! :DDDD

OpenStudy (javk):

phew...thank God, welcome
