Answer to Question 1

C
Diabetes is widely recognized as a profound inhibitor of normal repair. Elevated glucose levels interfere with leukocytosis and predispose the patient to infection.

Answer to Question 2

2. Lungs are clear on auscultation.

Rationale:
Clear lungs are an indication that the child is no longer retaining fluid. A sodium level of 149 is abnormal. Edema assessed at +3 is still significant. The blood pressure is normal for an adult but too high for a 4-year-old.
