Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Excessive infusions of chloride-containing intravenous fluids can precipitate metabolic acidosis. The head of the bed's being flat might influence a client's oxygenation status; however, the client was not demonstrating a change in respiratory depth or rate. A reduction in oral intake does not cause metabolic acidosis. Eating half of a meal tray is not the same as starvation. Diarrhea can lead to the development of metabolic acidosis. One formed stool would not cause the nurse alarm.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with gastric bypass surgery. A deficiency of vitamin B12 levels will result in pernicious anemia. This deficiency will manifest as pallor, jaundice, and weakness, and a beefy, smooth red tongue. Iron deficiency anemia will manifest with weakness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 deficiencies are not typically seen with gastric bypass surgeries and are not manifested with a beefy, red, smooth tongue. The client's reports are not consistent with a potassium deficiency.
