Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The client with a high specific gravity is most likely experiencing a fluid volume deficit, causing urine to be very concentrated. A fluid volume excess would normally increase urine output and produce very dilute urine. There is no indication of infection or altered elimination related to only a specific gravity.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale: Traditional clinical signs of death included cessation of apical pulse.
