Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Assessing serum albumin levels helps determine the client's nutritional status and allows care providers to alter the diet, as needed, to prevent pressure ulcers. All other options are treatment oriented rather than prevention oriented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Moving a joint beyond the point at which the client feels pain or resistance can damage the joint. The nurse should move the joint only to the point of resistance. Splinting the joint will not assist the client's range of motion. The client's joint should not be forced. Applying weights to the extremity will not increase range of motion of the joint but most likely will cause damage.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
