Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, E
A client receiving total parenteral nutrition is at risk for metabolic alkalosis. Manifestations of metabolic alkalosis include positive Chvostek's sign, normal or low blood pressure, increased heart rate, skeletal muscle weakness, and anxiety and irritability.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Metabolic acidosis causes neuromuscular changes, including reduced muscle tone and deep tendon reflexes. Clients usually present with lethargy and drowsiness. The respiratory system will attempt to compensate for the metabolic acidosis; therefore, respirations will increase rate and depth. A positive Trousseau's sign is associated with alkalosis. Decreased urine output is not a manifestation of metabolic acidosis.
