Answer to Question 1

B
The health care record is a legal document that describes what happens to a client; in case of a lawsuit, the record provides proof of actions taken or not taken. Nurses can protect themselves from implication in malpractice cases through accurate and concise documentation.

Answer to Question 2

A
The normal serum electrolyte ranges are sodium, 135 to 145 mEq/L; potassium, 3.5 to 5.0 mEq/L; calcium, 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dL; bicarbonate, 22 to 28 mEq/L. The serum sodium level is the only abnormal value.
