Answer to Question 1

A
Errors in writing a nursing diagnosis include the use of a symptom as the diagnosis or repeating the diagnostic label as the etiology. Another error is the misuse of a medical diagnosis that is not amenable to treatment by nurses.

Answer to Question 2

3. Decreased respiratory rate

Rationale:
The client with metabolic acidosis will have an increased respiratory rate and depth. A sign that care has been effective would include a decrease in the rate and depth of respirations. Increased deep tendon reflexes, weight gain, and palpitations are not associated with metabolic acidosis.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
