Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
It is most important to monitor the client's fluid intake and output. Calories consumed, appetite at each meal and content of between-meal snacks are not as important as fluid intake and output.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Adipose tissue is the soft connective tissue that stores fat as a food reserve. Areolar connective tissue, fibrous connective tissue, and elastic connective tissue do not store fat. Areolar tissue provides support and stretching in all directions and is highly vascular in nature. It intercepts pathogens before entering the bloodstream. Fibrous tissue has flexible strength. Elastic connective tissue can stretch to one-and-a-half times its original size and snap back to its original size. It is found in areas that are stretched on a regular basis.
