Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: During activity, stopping for fluids every 1520 minutes is recommended. Hydration should occur before and during the activity, not just at the end. A combination of water and sports drinks is best to replace fluids during exercise. Light-colored, light clothing is best to wear during exercise activities; wearing of dark colors can increase sweating.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: 0.9 percent Normal Saline (NS) maintains Na and chloride at present levels. D5W can lower sodium levels so would not be used to initially replace fluids in severe isotonic dehydration. Albumin is used to restore plasma proteins. D5 0.2 percent () Normal Saline would not be used initially but later, as maintenance fluids.
