Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 5, 6
The client diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis will experience dehydration, fruity breath odor, Kussmaul respirations, and abdominal pain. The client will also have hypotension and not hypertension. The client's heart rate will be tachycardic and not bradycardic.

Answer to Question 2

3
Oliguria is a decrease in urine output; however, this response is not specific enough. Oliguria demonstrates a urine output of 400 mL/24 hours. Anuria is a urine output of 50 mL/24 hours. Even though a urine output of less than 250 mL in 24 hours would be considered oliguria, the definition is that of less than 400 mL of urine within 24 hours.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
