Answer to Question 1

3
Calculating the total administration time for IV fluid depends on calculating the total number of drops to be infused.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
If some part of the hormonal system does not work properly, failure in one organ system may then cause changes in another part of the hormonal system. Tachycardia, diaphoresis, and in-creased body temperature may be related to diabetes, thyroid disease, or posterior pituitary hor-mone deficiency.
