Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Chronic pain causes physiologic adaptation, so the respiratory rate likely will be normal.
Rationale 2: Body temperature is not a factor in chronic pain.
Rationale 3: Chronic pain of long duration that is persistent or continuous permits physiologic adaptation, so normal heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure levels are often seen.
Rationale 4: As the body adapts to chronic pain, the heart rate will be normal.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 4: Fluid replacement, not fluid restriction, is necessary for child with DI.
