Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Blood work of dehydrated patients will show falsely elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit levels as a result of decreased capillary fluid. Dehydrated patients may become confused as a result of electrolyte imbalances and often complain of thirst. Older patients may not complain of thirst as a result of perceptual changes. Dehydration is evident by nonelastic skin turgor and delayed capillary filling.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Constipation can be caused by diets lacking in adequate residue and/or fiber and fluids or the use of constipating medicines (morphine, codeine, anticholinergic agents). Iron has a constipating effect. Fluid intake helps prevent constipation. Constipation can be caused by excessive intake of constipating foods such as cheese or yogurt.
