Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Assisting the client to turn at least every 2 hours is the most appropriate intervention for the nurse to include in the plan of care to reduce the risk of integumentary complications. Turning the client every 8 hours will not reduce the risk of integumentary complications. Encouraging exercise improves muscle tone, and encouraging coughing and deep breathing reduces the risk of respiratory complications, but neither helps reduce the risk of integumentary complications.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The sudden onset of apnea, bradycardia, and metabolic acidosis in a premature infant with a central line in place who had previously been growing and doing well is suggestive of bacterial sepsis rather than hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, or intracranial hemorrhage.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
