Answer to Question 1

C
Narrative charting uses a storylike format to document information specific to patient conditions and nursing care. PIE charting focuses on problem, intervention, and evaluation. SOAP documentation addresses subjective data, objective data, assessment, and the plan. Charting by exception reduces the time required to complete documentation, using a flow sheet to indicate normal findings or routine interventions.

Answer to Question 2

B
Hypokalemia causes muscle weakness and if severe, cardiac dysrhythmias. Sodium concentration imbalances really are water imbalances. With hyponatremia, water enters cells by osmosis, causing them to swell. Signs of cerebral dysfunction occur when brain cells swell. Hypochloremia always occurs with other imbalances and has no unique signs and symptoms. Hyperchloremia is abnormally high blood chloride level, which occurs with some types of acidosis, some renal conditions, and other electrolyte imbalances. It also has no unique signs and symptoms.
