Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
There are several reasons children are more prone to dehydration than adults, including: a greater body surface area from which to lose fluids, a higher percentage of total body water, more losses from the GI tract and skin, a decreased ability of the kidneys to concentrate urine, and immature kidneys that are not good at excreting waste products.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
There are many complications associated with hemodialysis, including bleeding, febrile reactions, hypotension, and infection. Although any ill child can develop a pulmonary embolism, this is not a specific complication of this therapy.
