Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Reductions in alertness and awareness are the earliest and most significant indications of uremic encephalopathy. These often are followed by an inability to fix attention, loss of recent memory, and perceptual errors in identifying people and objects. Answer choice A refers to pericarditis; answer choice B refers to arthritis; answer choice D refers to liver involvement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

KCl administration facilitates the renal retention of hydrogen ions, resulting in lowering of pH. It is not possible to administer free H+ ions, and sodium bicarbonate would exacerbate her condition. Mechanical ventilation is indicated in cases of respiratory acidosis.
