Answer to Question 1

2
Incidence is the number of new cases of a condition, symptom, death, or injury that arise during a specified period. Prevalence is the number of current cases per population at risk. Trends are the general direction of movement of any given topic. The mortality rate is the number of deaths that occur at a given time.

Answer to Question 2

4
An adult female has 50 of body weight that is fluid. Adipose cells contain less fluid than other cells. Females have more fat cells than males. Overweight people have less body fluid than thin people. A history of arthritis and appendicitis does not predispose the client to dehydration.
