Correct Answer is ["C","D","E"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Encouraging range-of-motion exercises of the foot is not advisable because it can cause further injury to the ankle.

Choice B rationale:

Providing the client with a light snack is not directly related to the care of an ankle injury.

Choice C rationale:

Applying ice to the ankle can help reduce swelling and pain.

Choice D rationale:

Applying a compression bandage can help reduce swelling.

Choice E rationale:

Elevating the foot can help reduce swelling by promoting venous return.

A. Hyperventilation. B. Diarrhea. C. Salicylate intoxication. D. Vomiting.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Hyperventilation is a compensatory mechanism for metabolic acidosis, not a cause. It helps to eliminate carbon dioxide, a weak acid, to balance the pH.

Choice B rationale:

Diarrhea causes loss of bicarbonate, a base, from the body. This can lead to metabolic acidosis as there is an excess of acids.

Choice C rationale:

Salicylate intoxication can cause both respiratory alkalosis and metabolic acidosis. However, it is not the most common cause of metabolic acidosis.

Choice D rationale:

Vomiting leads to loss of gastric acid, a strong acid. This usually results in metabolic alkalosis, not acidosis.
