Answer to Question 1

B
Hypertension is a symptom of fluid volume excess.
Tachycardia is associated with fluid volume deficit.
Dry mucous membranes are symptomatic of fluid volume deficit/dehydration, not excess fluid.
Fever is a symptom of fluid volume deficit.

Answer to Question 2

A
Because errors have occurred in the past with patients undergoing the wrong surgery on the wrong site, the universal protocol has been implemented and is used with all invasive procedures. Part of this protocol includes marking the operative site with indelible ink. Knowing where the family is during a procedure, placing the patient in a clean gown, and asking the patient to remove all hairpins and cosmetics are important but are not most important in this list of items.
