Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Water intake averages 2,000 to 2,500 mL/day for adults. The nurse would continue with care, because the client has a normal fluid intake.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, is usually not stored in the body. Deficiency symptoms are apt to develop quickly when intake is inadequate; a daily intake is recommended.
