Answer to Question 1

If a client whose dominant language is not English appears to be nonadherent to the prescribed health care regime, the nurse should assess if the client understands the written instructions. The client could be illiterate. The nurse does not need to assess the client's hearing, vision, or orientation.

Answer to Question 2

Intravascular fluid is the fluid in the bloodstream. Intracellular fluid is the fluid inside each cell. Interstitial fluid is the fluid between cells. Transcellular fluid is the fluid outside all of the other fluid compartments, and it includes cerebrospinal fluid, joint fluid, and fluid within the gastrointestinal tract.
