Answer to Question 1

D
Continuing education is a professional strategy designed to ensure that nurses remain current in their clinical knowledge. Many states require nurses to engage in a certain number of continuing-education requirements to renew their license. The knowledge gained in the nursing curriculum is sufficient for nursing school graduates to obtain their initial license. Requirements for renewal of a nurse's license can be found in the state's nurse practice act (state board of nursing).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: A number of stimuli trigger the thirst center, including the osmotic pressure of body fluids.
Rationale 2: A number of stimuli trigger the thirst center including vascular volume.
Rationale 3: A number of stimuli trigger the thirst center including angiotensin.
Rationale 4: Urine output does not trigger the thirst center.
Rationale 5: Body weight does not trigger the thirst center.
