Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
When monitoring a patient with a respiratory illness that induces secretions, the patient must be monitored for ineffective airway clearance. By assessing the skin, vital signs, breath sounds, and oxygen saturation levels at least every four hours, the nurse will be able to detect subtle changes that could indicate impending changes with the patient. Respiratory rates must be assessed on a frequency level similar to the breath sounds assessment, if not more often.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 5
INH and rifampin can cause hepatitis. Jaundice could indicate hepatitis. A change in stool color could possibly be an indication of hepatitis. A fever or diarrhea would not indicate hepatitis. The pain from hepatitis is on the upper-right quadrant, not the left.
