Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Edema of the feet increases the client's risk for impaired skin integrity. Activity Intolerance would be a diagnosis applicable for shortness of breath with ambulation. Risk for Impaired Gas Exchange would be a diagnosis applicable for a productive cough. Risk for Impaired Perfusion would be a diagnosis applicable for a heart rate of 104 and regular.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, E

Dehydration, renal calculi, and hypertension can all precipitate acute renal failure (ARF). Ineffective wound healing has not been shown to cause renal failure unless the infection becomes systemic. A low serum albumin does not cause ARF.
B) Dehydration, renal calculi, and hypertension can all precipitate acute renal failure
