Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Vomiting or emesis is the sudden and forceful oral expulsion of the contents of the stomach. It is usually preceded by nausea. Nausea is a subjective and unpleasant sensation. Retching consists of rhythmic spasmodic movements of the diaphragm, chest wall, and abdominal muscles. It usually precedes or alternates with periods of vomiting. Expatriate means to banish or withdraw.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

A gradual decrease in GFR is considered a normal age-related change. Increased creatinine or BUN would warrant follow-up, as would the presence of protein in a client's urine.
