Answer to Question 1

B, E
The instructor would recognize that further teaching is needed if the student answered satisfaction and action. The SBAR is an acronym that stands for situation, background assessment, and recommendation.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Allowing the client privacy does not ensure safety.
2. The warm, moist heat and warm environment of the Sitz bath could cause the client to faint. A call bell should be placed within reach, and the client should be checked on frequently to maintain safety.
3. Warm or cool Sitz baths are recommended to assist in perineal healing and reduction of discomfort.
4. Not checking on the client until after the Sitz bath does not ensure safety.
