Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The client with irritable bowel syndrome is taught to maintain a higher-than-normal fluid intake to maintain hydration. The client's dry patches could be due to fluid deficit but would not require immediate notification. Two liquid stools a day is not excessive, but the client needs to take in enough fluid to account for the stools as well as the normal fluid needs of the body. Moisturizing the skin is a positive action of the client but does not indicate appropriate understanding of the teaching that is appropriate for this diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, C, E

The exact cause of nephritis is unknown, but preventing viral infections through practicing good hygiene habits, not smoking, maintaining a healthy body weight, and controlling high blood pressure reduces the risk of developing this disease. Limiting alcohol intake will not affect the development of nephritis.
