Answer to Question 1

B
A possible nursing diagnosis is based on nursing knowledge, intuition, and experience and does not have enough data to support it; it is based on incomplete data. A risk diagnosis describes a problem that may develop in a vulnerable client if nursing care is not initiated to prevent it; it is made when risk factors are present in the data. Nurses collect data to support both risk and possible diagnoses; therefore, this statement does not differentiate them. A risk diagnosis becomes an actual diagnosis when symptoms develop.

Answer to Question 2

A
Antidiuretic hormone promotes fluid retention by increasing the reabsorption of water by kidney tubules. Thyroid-stimulating hormone increases efficiency of cellular metabolism and fat conversion to energy for cells and muscle. Cortisol increases the use of fats and proteins for energy and conserves glucose for use by the brain. Aldosterone promotes fluid retention by causing the kidneys to reabsorb more sodium.
