Answer to Question 1

C, D
Hypovolemia occurs when there is a proportional loss of water and electrolytes from the ECF. Lactated Ringer's and 0.9 (normal) saline are isotonic fluids that remain inside the intravascular space, thus increasing volume. The D5W is a hypotonic solution that would pull body water from the intravascular compartment into the interstitial fluid compartment. D50W is used to treat diabetic patients who have severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Answer to Question 2

B
An abdominal binder provides added support to an incision site and decreases the risk of wound dehiscence. A T-binder is used in the perineal area. Steri-Strips and paper tape would not be needed for an approximated incision that has intact staples or sutures.
