Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Muscle spasticity is defined as a sustained muscle contraction. Soft and flabby muscle tone is defined as atonic. A limp muscle without tone is described as flaccid. The state of readiness, known as muscle tone (tonus), is produced by the maintenance of some of the muscle fibers in a contracted state.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
 of the 2 liters is to infuse in the first 10 hours.  of 2 = 1 L; 1 L = 1,000 mL to infuse over 10 hours = 100 mL/L.
