Answer to Question 1

Bananas, oranges, and dried fruit are high-potassium food sources. Applesauce is the low-potassium snack.

Answer to Question 2

Assessment findings consistent with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic nonketotic syndrome include a blood glucose level greater than 400 mg/dL, absence of ketones in the urine, serum sodium greater than 140 mEq/L, and serum osmolality greater than 310 mOsm/kg. The blood pressure of 120/68 mmHg is within normal limits. The heart rate of 78 beats per minute is within normal limits.
