Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inadequate fluid intake in older adults can lead to altered absorption of drugs due to changes in the body's ability to process medications, digestive disorders as a result of decreased digestive secretions, constipation due to reduced bowel movement efficiency, and reduced appetite, which can be a consequence of dehydration affecting the body's overall function. Bleeding disorders are not directly related to fluid intake.
