Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The very young child and older adults are at greatest risk for fluid or electrolyte imbalances.

The therapeutic goal may be maintenance, replacement, treatment, diagnosis, monitoring, palliation, or a combination. This client requires intravenous fluids for replacement of those lost due to the NPO order, and the loss of fluid and electrolytes due to the nasogastric suctioning.
