Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

C
Too rapid an infusion or too much volume with a hypertonic solution can lead to fluid overload, which manifests as crackles in the lungs, a symptom of pulmonary edema.
Increased urine output is expected with an increase in fluid volume, therefore this would not be an abnormal finding.
A patient receiving a hypertonic IV solution is at risk for hypernatremia and thus hypokalemia. This patient's potassium level is normal.
A serum sodium level of 126 mg/dL indicates hyponatremia, which would not be assessed in a patient receiving a hypertonic solution IV.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
