Answer to Question 1

C
The recommended daily allowance for fluids is 30 ml/kg body weight or roughly 1/2 oz per lb of body weight.

Answer to Question 2

1. Fever
2. Vomiting
5. Personality change

Rationale:
Fever can be a sign of shunt malfunction. Vomiting can be a sign of shunt malfunction, and might indicate increased intracranial pressure. Personality change can be indicative of a shunt malfunction. Dizziness is not necessarily seen with a shunt malfunction, and can be difficult to assess in a 3-year-old. Fontanels are closed in a 3-year-old.
