Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should provide the client with warm fluids because fluids conduct heat to internal organs. Raising the room temperature warms the body surface, not the internal organs, whereas applying layers of dry clothing helps trap body heat next to the skin. Warming blankets and clothing in a blanket warmer or microwave helps to raise the temperature of woven fabrics and thus body surfaces, but not necessarily the temperature of organs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Polyuria means greater than normal urinary elimination. It may accompany minor dietary variations. For example, consuming higher than normal amounts of fluids, especially those with mild diuretic effects (e.g., coffee, tea), or taking certain medications actually can increase urination. Oliguria is inadequate elimination of urine. Anuria means the absence of urine. Dysuria is difficult or uncomfortable voiding.
