A 57 year old homeless female with a history of alcohol abuse has been admitted to your hospital unit. She was admitted with sig
ns and symptoms of hypovolemia- minus the weight loss. She exhibits a localized enlargement of her abdomen. What condition would she be presenting with?
In an adult that ishealthy nearly all fluid is contained in the intracellular, intravascular, or interstitial spaces, with the intracellular space holding about two-thirds of total body water. Normally, fluid moves freely between these three spaces to maintain fluid balance Third-spacing occurs when too much fluid moves from the intravascular space (blood vessels) into the interstitial or "third" space-the nonfunctional area between cells. This can cause potentially serious problems such as edema, reduced cardiac output, and hypotension. Other signs and symptoms include weight gain, decreased urinary output, and signs of hypovolemia, such as tachycardia.
3rd Spacing - Third-spacing refers to the movement of fluid from the intravascular or intercellular space to tissue compartments, where it gets trapped and becomes useless. The patient will show signs and symptoms of hypovolemia with the exception of weight loss. There may be signs of localized enlargement of organ cavities (such as the abdomen) if they are filled with fluid, a condition referred to as ascites.
The first three options I see are all making-decision process to take action, but the last one is the one that is not like that. Researching is something that is not so close in meaning to what you need. That is why, D is a good option.

I am not so sure what the answer is but I thnk that it is because The Army wasn't moving fast enough and they needed to fasten things up. So they decided to make it faster to fight by adding roads and bridges so it would be easier on them.
