Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Hypotonic dehydration occurs when the loss of electrolytes is greater than the loss of water; in this type of dehydration, the serum sodium level is less than 130 mEq/L. Isotonic de-hydration occurs when water and electrolytes are lost in approximately the same proportion as they exist in the body. In this type of dehydration, the serum sodium levels remain normal (135 to 145 mEq/L). It causes the serum sodium level to rise above 150 mEq/L and It occurs when the loss of water is greater than the loss of electrolytes describe hypertonic dehydration.
