Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Obtaining adequate fluid and electrolytes is a major concern for this client. A high fluid intake (810 cups daily) is needed to replenish losses.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive inherited disease (i.e., it is caused by a genetic defect). The lung problems seen in cystic fibrosis are not caused by smoking cigarettes. Frequent lung infections are a symptom, rather than a cause of the disease. Inadequate folate intake is linked to increased risk of neural tube defects.
