Answer to Question 1

4
The daughter is providing care to her elderly parents that includes transportation, laundry, grocery shopping, and banking. The nurse should assess the caregiver for signs of role strain. The daughter is most likely not at risk for developing malnutrition, dehydration, or sensory deprivation.

Answer to Question 2

4
Signs and symptoms of hypermagnesemia are similar to those seen with hypercalcemia and include paresthesias, muscle weakness, anorexia, nausea, diminished bowel sounds, and constipation. Confusion, depression, lethargy, and coma can also occur. Muscle weakness, paresthesias, and depression are not seen in hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, or hypocalcemia.
