Answer to Question 1

Thanks for the answer, I sent you a PM for another one.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for tachycardia, cold and clammy skin, confusion, and hypotension in the client experiencing hyponatremia. Hyponatremia is excessive loss of sodium and is a common fluid and electrolyte imbalance associated with diuretic therapy. Tremors, visual hallucinations, and paresthesias are the symptoms of hypomagnesemia and not hyponatremia.
