Answer to Question 1

B
Severe insulin deficiency produces metabolic acidosis, which is indicated by a low arterial pH. Urinary ketones, often in large amounts, are present when a child is in diabetic ketoacidosis. Serum carbon dioxide is decreased in diabetic ketoacidosis. Serum phosphorus is decreased in diabetic ketoacidosis.

Answer to Question 2

B
The toddler's ability to understand language (receptive language) exceeds the child's ability to speak it (expressive language). Although language development varies in relationship to physical activity, language skills are rapidly accelerating by 15 to 24 months of age. By 2 years of age, 60 to 70 of the toddler's speech is understandable. The toddler's vocabulary contains approximately 300 or more words.
