Answer to Question 1

B
Severely reduced urinary output indicates dehydration, reduced kidney function, or retention caused by cardiac malfunction. Many normal people have bradycardia. Weight loss of more than 30 of ideal body weight would call for hospitalization. This potassium level is within the normal range.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient practice which originated in India, stresses individual responsibility for health, is holistic, promotes prevention, recognizes the uniqueness of the individual, and offers natural methods of treatment. Ayurvedic medicine does not require spiritual cleansing or the involvement of family and the treatment team in all decisions.
