Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse knows that the client's electrolytes need to be restored. Rehydration after exercise can only be achieved if the electrolytes lost in sweat, as well as the lost water, are replaced. The client does not need to have nonelectrolytes, colloid solution, or interstitial fluid restored. Nonelectrolytes are chemical compounds that remain bound together when dissolved in a solution. Interstitial fluid is the fluid in the tissue space between and around cells. Hypertonic solutions are not used to resolve dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

B
Some of these analgesics can be administered only orally; others can be administered by other routes (intramuscular, intravenous, patient-controlled analgesia pump, epidural, intrathecal, or transdermal). Intravenous medication administration provides the most rapid onset of pain relief.
