Answer to Question 1

C
Urine specific gravity is the measurement of the number of solutes in a solution (urine).

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse opens the lower clamp until the tubing is filled with fluid and then reclamps it because doing so purges air from the tubing. In order to provide diluent for the medication, the nurse opens the clamp above the calibrated container, fills the chamber with desired volume of fluid, and reclamps. To remove colonizing microorganisms, the nurse swabs the injection port on the calibrated container. To mix the medication thoroughly with the fluid, the nurse rotates the fluid chamber back and forth.
