Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
A client who is receiving corticosteroid therapy would be least likely to have a nursing diagnosis of Deficient Fluid Volume. Rather, Excess Fluid Volume would be more appropriate. Risk for Infection related to immunosuppression, Disturbed Body Image related to cushingoid effects, and Risk for Injury related to muscle atrophy and osteoporosis would be appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Symptoms of water intoxication include drowsiness, listlessness, confusion, and headache (which may precede convulsions and coma). Abdominal pain and diarrhea are not associated with water intoxication.
