Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Dry mucous membranes, increased urine specific gravity, and decreased level of consciousness may indicate dehydration. Daily weights help monitor fluid balance. Weight loss indicates a drop in body fluid or dehydration. A new skin blister on the sacrum indicates a protein deficiency.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 263
To determine the percentage of permitted protein intake, the nurse should multiply the total daily kilocalorie intake by 15 or 1750  15 = 262.5 or 263 kcal.
