Older adults are at risk for dehydration because of reduced thirst and aging kid

Older adults are at risk for dehydration because of reduced thirst and aging kidneys. The nurse monitors for the early indicator of dehydration, which is:
1.   reduced skin turgor.
2.   constipation.
3.   concentrated urine.
4.   disorientation.

This is for my medical nursing class
