Answer to Question 1

B
Maintenance of physiologic equilibrium within the body is known as homeostasis. Hemostasis is not a recognized term. Water balance is only one aspect of homeostasis. Metabolic regulation describes homeostasis, but is not the recognized term for it.

Answer to Question 2

1 Rationale: These findings are consistent with hyponatremia due to dehydration. The normal range of sodium is 135145 mEq/ L. When clients are dehydrated, their potassium level would be decreased and their respiratory rate would increase. Their temperature would increase due to their inability to cool themselves through sweating and evaporation.
