Answer to Question 1

3
Evidence of an infection in the joint of a client recovering from hip replacement surgery includes erythema, edema, drainage, and tenderness over the joint; persistent pain in the joint with movement; and narrowing of the joint space upon x-ray. Using crutches to ambulate would not indicate an infection in the operative site. A blood pressure of 110/68 mmHg is within normal limits. The foot being intact to sensation and motion would indicate the limb is receiving sufficient blood and oxygenation.

Answer to Question 2

2
For clients diagnosed with peptic ulcer disease caused by NSAID use, the anti-inflammatory medication should be discontinued and the client should receive treatment similar to that of peptic ulcer disease. Surgery is not indicated. Antibiotics are not indicated. Gastric lavage is not indicated.
