Answer to Question 1

C
Water at 110 F should be used to shampoo a patient's hair.

Answer to Question 2

A
Thirst, dry skin, dry oral mucous membranes, increased body temperature, and decreased urine output is a cue cluster that identifies deficient fluid volume as a nursing diagnosis. Data clustering occurs when related cues are grouped together. An elevated TSH level indicates a patient is hypothyroid, and yet tachycardia, tachypnea, anxiety, and irritability all indicate hyperthyroidism. Kussmaul respirations are found in diabetic ketoacidosis. Kussmaul respirations refers to diabetic ketoacidosis in which polyuria (not oliguria) is an expected finding. An elevated white blood count is not an expected finding in a patient who is experiencing neutropenia.
