Answer to Question 1

D
Sensible water loss consists of fluids lost from the skin through visible perspiration, such as with a resolving fever related to pneumonia. Asthma would be insensible water loss through respiration. Gastroenteritis causes diarrhea with its large volume loss. Constipation does not affect fluid loss.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A A referent (e.g., a communication trigger such as a time schedule) motivates one person to communicate with another. The patient's response is not an example of a referent.
B The receiver is the person who receives and decodes the message. The question is asking about the response, not about the receiver.
C Channels are means of conveying and receiving messages through visual, auditory, and tactile senses. The patient's response is not an example of a channel.
D The patient's response is an example of feedback. Feedback is the message returned by the receiver.
