Answer to Question 1

B, E
Elevating feet above heart level and wearing elastic compression support wraps decrease edema. (Wraps should be applied twice daily.) Swimming is encouraged as good exercise that encou-rages venous return. Tight clothing should be avoided. Reduction of fluid intake may increase blood viscosity and promote clotting.

Answer to Question 2

B
Respiratory alkalosis, or hypocapnia, results from the patient's respiratory rate being elevated for a prolonged period due to the persistent fever. The patient blows off too much CO2 as a result. Hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis are the same and result from disorders that cause hypoven-tilation. Kussmaul respirations are an abnormal breathing pattern.
