Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Use the following ratio to determine how many drops of fluid to administer per minute:

Using the information from this problem:

Because it is not possible to deliver 0.3 drops, round 33.3 to 33 gtt/min.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The inflammatory response is the local reaction of the body to invasion or injury. Any insult to the body that injures cells or tissues sets of a series of events and chemical reactions known as the inflammatory response. Protein catabolism is the breakdown of protein into particles small enough to be carried into the cell and is an incorrect choice. Cellular injury does not inhibit cell growth or lower pH.
