Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C

The nurse acting in a health promotion role is performing interventions to prevent disease. Reinforcing desirable changes to the client's lifestyle and administering vaccines to a well child exemplify health promotion. Administering an ordered antibiotic or inhaler to a client and obtaining a blood glucose sample from a symptomatic client exemplify nursing interventions that are in response to disease or illness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, D

Intravenous fluids may be ordered for the client with a fluid volume deficit if replacement oral fluids cannot be taken in sufficient quantity. Hypodermoclysis, fluid administered subcutaneously, may be employed as a fluid delivery method, especially among older adults. Antibiotics are not used for fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Diuretics may be ordered to reduce fluid volume excess. A blood transfusion is implemented for blood loss not for a fluid and electrolyte imbalance.
