Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C
Polyuria (excessive urination), polydipsia (excessive thirst), and weight loss support the diagnoses of Deficient fluid volume and Imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements. Being newly diagnosed with the disease at the age of 9 supports the diagnosis of Deficient knowledge regarding disease process. There is no data to support Noncompliance or Delayed growth and development.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
A grade 2 murmur is soft and quiet and is heard each time the chest is auscultated. A grade 1 murmur is barely audible and is heard at some times and not at other times. A grade 3 murmur is audible with intermediate intensity. A grade 4 murmur is audible and accompanied by a palpable thrill.
