Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The fluid of choice in any emergency is an isotonic crystalloid; 0.9 normal saline is isotonic, 0.45 normal saline and 5 dextrose in water are both hypotonic, and 3 saline is hypertonic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by proximal muscle weakness, a red-purple facial rash, possibly a rash similar to that seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, tender and stiff muscles, voice changes, and dysphagia. The muscle weakness combined with the facial rash would provide the nurse a basis to suspect this disorder. This is not contagious nor is it inherited, so asking about others' symptoms would not be helpful. It is not characterized by exacerbations and remissions, and although stiffness is a common manifestation, that could be indicative of many other conditions.
