Answer to Question 1

A
Hypotonic solutions are administered for cellular dehydration, whereas isotonic solutions replace intravascular fluid, so both of these might be appropriate for this patient. Hypertonic solutions pull fluid from extravascular spaces and would not be appropriate for this patient. Whole blood is not indicated because there is no evidence of blood loss.

Answer to Question 2

B
The term for the fluctuation of the water-seal chamber when the patient breathes is tidaling. Bubbling is different from tidaling, because bubbling is the presence of gas moving through the chamber, whereas tidaling is an up and down movement that correlates with the patient's breathing. Fluttering and alternating reflect incorrect terminology.
