Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E

Healthy People 2020 is organized into 42 topic areas with nearly 600 objectives to improve health. These topic areas include: Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke, and HIV. Multiple Sclerosis is not one of the topic areas.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The internal vasoconstrictive compensatory reactions within the body are responsible for the symptoms exhibited. The body naturally attempts to conserve fluid internally specifically for the brain and heart. A diuretic would cause further fluid loss, and is contraindicated. Rapidly infused intravenous fluids would not cause a decrease in urine output. The manifestations reported are not indicative of cardiac failure in this client.
