Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Daily weights are the single most important indicator of fluid status. Skin turgor is a measure of hydration, as are intake and output. Serum electrolyte levels help monitor fluid status; however, daily weights are the single best indicator of a client's fluid status.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
A salicylate overdose may cause respiratory alkalosis because of hyperventilation. Aspirin over-dose is not associated with metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkalosis or respiratory acidosis.
