Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4, 5
Management of hypercalcemia is focused on removing calcium, which is accomplished by administering diuretics, administering intravenous fluids, and administering intravenous sodium. Continuous cardiac monitoring is needed for clients at risk for developing dysrhythmias. Restricting fluids and changing to a low-fat diet are not used to treat hypercalcemia.

Answer to Question 2

2
Colchicine is used for the acute attack phase. The other medications would be used for further treatment of the gout.
