A nurse educator explains to staff nurses that diarrhea can quickly become life-threatening in elderly patients because
 
  1. The elderly patient's total body water percentage increases, making it easier to become dehydrated.
  2. Their decreased ability to concentrate on many daily functions makes them forget to drink fluids, particularly when they are ill.
  3. Thirst is already diminished, and their percentage of body water is decreased, making them more susceptible to dehydration.
  4. Their decreased stature and weight increases the likelihood that they will become dehydrated.
