Answer to Question 1

B
In respiratory alkalosis, the patient can develop hyperactive reflexes, tetany, a positive Chvostek's sign, a positive Trousseau's sign, vertigo, and unconsciousness.

D
The first step in developing a nursing diagnosis is collecting data through assessment. The second step is validating the data. Then the data is grouped into clusters. Identifying the problem or condition is not a step in the development of a nursing diagnosis.
