Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4
Any client prescribed diuretics should be monitored for dehydration, hyponatremia, and hypokalemia. Rebound fluid volume overload is not possible with diuretic therapy. Hypernatremia and hyperkalemia are also not possible with diuretic therapy.

Answer to Question 2

4
A more gradual onset of pleuritic pain is seen in tuberculosis and malignancy. Acute pleuritic pain is associated with pneumococcal pneumonia, pneumothorax, and pulmonary embolism.
