Answer:

B. dry cracked lips

C. non-elastic turgor with prolonged tenting

Explanation:

During extreme dehydration, mucous membrane that appears at lining of body tract  e.g (nose, mouth, trachea, eyelids etc) dries off and also lips looks  dried out and cracked.

Also, the nurse making documentation should also check for the skin tugor, the tissue in the skin should also return quickly to its original position, if not,  a decreased skin turgor have occurred, which is a factor that results into dehydration. Prolonged "tenting" indicates dehydration. Clinical signs of dehydration may include prolonged skin tenting.

g100num [7]

Answer:

b) Cardio respiratory

Explanation:

Just as exercise strengthens other muscles in your body, it helps your heart muscle become more efficient and better able to pump blood throughout your body. This means that the heart pushes out more blood with each beat, allowing it to beat slower and keep your blood pressure under control. Aerobic exercise boosts your good cholesterol (HDL), and lowers your bad cholesterol (LDL).
