Answer 1

Dialysis patients are exposed to approximately 100 gallons of water per week, whereas the average person drinks about 1 gallon per week Option A is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of dialysis involves the use of a significant amount of water for various purposes, including creating the dialysate, cleaning equipment, and ensuring proper functioning of the dialysis machine. Dialysis patients may be exposed to around 100 gallons of water on a weekly basis as a part of their treatment.

In contrast, the average person's water intake typically involves drinking, and it is considerably lower, averaging around 1 gallon per week. The options B, C, and D present variations that are not consistent with the typical exposure for dialysis patients or the average person's water consumption.

Option A is the answer.
