Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse should assess the client's head for the presence of lice before implementing any action. The mother's observations do not contribute any pertinent information unless the child's head is clear of parasites.

Answer to Question 2

2,4
Rationale: The client with diabetes insipidus has extremely high urine output that is very dilute with increasing sodium levels. Care should be focused on increasing fluid intake to replace fluid lost by the kidney and reduce sodium intake, and the urine will be tested for specific gravity. Daily weights are the indicated to determine fluid status. Diabetes insipidus is not related to diabetes mellitus, so this client will not require insulin, and findings of protein or glucose in the urine would be abnormal.
