Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This is the expected urine output and would be considered successful.
Rationale 2: This volume of urine output means efforts to rehydrate the client have been successful.
Rationale 3: This volume of urine output indicates efforts to rehydrate the client have been successful.
Rationale 4: Normal urine output for adult clients is at least 0.5 mL/kg/hour. This client weighs 70 kg, so adequate urine output would be 35 mL/hour. A urine output of 30/mL/hr indicates that efforts at rehydration have not been successful.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Respiratory regulation is rapid, but temporary.
Rationale 2: The gastrointestinal system is not involved in the regulation of acidbase balance.
Rationale 3: Renal regulation is slower, but powerfully effective.
Rationale 4: The cardiovascular system is not involved in the regulation of acidbase balance.
