Answer to Question 1

A
Kayexalate enemas are considered hypertonic. Normal saline is an isotonic solution. Soap suds and tap water enemas are hypotonic solutions.

Answer to Question 2

2. Chemotherapy

Rationale:
The client with an alteration in cell growth has cancer and will most likely be treated with chemotherapy and antibiotics. Diuretic therapy, IV fluids, and electrolyte replacement are not typically used to treat the cancer, although they may be used if complications develop.
