Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The acidic level of the pH in combination with an elevated carbon dioxide level indicates that the client's breathing is inadequate to meet gas exchange needs of the body. Inadequate kidney function would have an impact on bicarbonate levels. Bicarbonate levels would be increased if excessive intake of alkaline foods were to blame, and diarrhea and vomiting would cause a metabolic, not a respiratory, picture.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale: The nurse will identify the client's body image; the image of the physical self that a client perceives; and the size and functioning of the body and its parts.
