Answer to Question 1

B
The returned dialysate from a client's peritoneal dialysis cycle should be clear and light yellow. If it is cloudy, it could indicate an infection is present.

Answer to Question 2

D
In hydrocephalus, the balance between the rate of cerebrospinal fluid formation and absorption is disturbed. The infant has an excessively large head at birth, or rapid head growth along with widening cranial sutures. The anterior fontanelle becomes tense and bulges, and the eyes appear to be pushed downward, with the sclera visible above the iris (sunset eyes). Increased intracranial pressure causes irritability, restlessness, a high-pitched cry, vomiting, seizures, and a change in level of consciousness. Surgery is necessary. Vital signs, head circumference, and neurological signs must be monitored. Infections must be prevented.
