Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

3. Metabolic acidosis

Rationale:
A client who is fasting is at risk for development of metabolic acidosis. The body recognizes fasting as starvation and begins to metabolize its own proteins into ketones, which are metabolic acids. Starvation would not result in respiratory acidosis or alkalosis or in metabolic alkalosis.
