you guys are all a bunch of bullies. is a person not allowed to ask for one question for help lol yall should get a life. if you dont want to answer then dont. but dont come on here to harass other individuals. asking for help on one question is not doing someone elses homework.

Well, that turns out to be a big fat lie. You asked for the answers to FOUR questions for this quiz. You weren't utilizing your book and internet sources to help you formulate an answer, you just wanted others to GIVE you the answer. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

You might get a better response if you put what you thought the answer was, and your rationale. Do the same work you expect from strangers on the internet. For example, think about why someone would have fluid overload. Either because they have trouble excreting fluid, or they are taking in fluid at an insanely high rate. Option 1 had kidneys that don't work well(insufficiency), so they would have trouble getting rid of fluid. None of the other options has definitely impaired urination or high-flow IV fluids. Hope this helps.

Since you aren't going to get to take your exams by posting on internet forums (or the NCLEX for that matter) it would be really beneficial for you to listen to the advice you are getting on here and put the thought (your own thought) into answering questions before coming on here for answers

What if he is a vampire though? A simple blood transfusion should do the trick!
