Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The client least suited for telehealth services is the one with congestive heart failure and developing chest pain. Clients with such emergent problems should not be monitored and treated electronically. However, stable clients who must be watched closely are potential candidates, such as the older woman pregnant for the first time, the client with a large pressure ulcer, and the glucose monitoring client.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Podcasts and webinars are educational resources used by many professional organizations. These online presentations are available initially as live broadcasts, then retained for later access. Members usually have free access, and others might have access after payment of a fee. Many organizations provide continuing education credits for viewing podcasts and webinars.
