Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A. Milk and organ meats. These foods do not contain excessive sodium.

B. Cheese, lunch meats, and canned vegetables: These foods are high in sodium, which can worsen hypernatremia by increasing serum sodium levels. Processed meats and canned vegetables contain excess salt and preservatives.

C. Alcohol and fried foods. Alcohol can cause dehydration, but not necessarily high sodium levels.

D. Green leafy vegetables and salt substitutes. Green leafy vegetables are low in sodium, and some salt substitutes contain potassium, not sodium.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Respiratory Alkalosis: Would have low PaCO2 (<35 mmHg), not high.

B. Partially Compensated Metabolic Alkalosis: The pH is high (alkalosis), and the HCO3 is elevated, which indicates metabolic alkalosis. The PaCO2 is high, meaning the lungs are attempting to compensate by retaining CO₂ to lower the pH. Because the pH is still abnormal, this is partial compensation.

C. Metabolic Acidosis: Would have low pH and low HCO3 (<22 mEq/L).

D. Fully Compensated Respiratory Acidosis: The primary problem is metabolic, not respiratory.

A. Diphenhydramine B. Famotidine C. Omeprazole D. Ondansetron

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Diphenhydramine: An antihistamine used for motion sickness, but not first-line for severe nausea and dehydration.

B. Famotidine: A histamine-2 blocker used for acid reflux, not nausea control.

C. Omeprazole: A proton pump inhibitor for acid suppression, not for nausea and vomiting.

D. Ondansetron: Ondansetron (Zofran) is a serotonin (5-HT3) receptor antagonist that is highly effective for nausea and vomiting, especially in dehydration and severe vomiting.
