Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale:Because the breakdown of malignant cells releases intracellular components into the blood and electrolyte imbalance causes metabolic acidosis, the urine specific gravity should remain at less than 1.010 and the pH at 7 to 7.5. A specific gravity higher than 1.010 can mean fluid intake is not high enough, and a pH of less than 7 means acidosis.

Answer to Question 2

4
Explanation: 4. In battledore placenta, the umbilical cord is inserted at or near the placental margin.
