Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Phosphate-binding antacids (aluminum salts, calcium carbonate, or calcium acetate) may be prescribed to decrease the absorption of phosphate from the GI tract.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A, C

Feedback:

The salicylates cross the blood-brain barrier and directly stimulate the respiratory center, causing hyperventilation and respiratory alkalosis (answer choices A and C). The blood pressure is at normal range, and the urine output is normal or excessive depending on fluid intake. Bilateral crackles (fluid) in the lungs are usually a sign of heart failure.
