Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
An isotonic solution contains the same osmotic pressure. A hypertonic solution is stronger than opposite sides of a membrane. A hypotonic solution is weaker than opposite sides of a membrane.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The client's frame of mind, complaints of nausea, or being upset about brother's death are subjective data because they cannot be observed or measured by anyone else apart from the client. Objective data include all the measurable and observable pieces of information about the client's condition. The client's blood pressure can be measured by a sphygmomanometer and, therefore, is an objective piece of information.
