Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Agitation is uncharacteristic of stress relocation syndrome.
B Correct. Apprehension is a major defining characteristic of stress relocation syndrome.
C Incorrect. An inadequate support system is characteristic of this syndrome.
D Incorrect. Hallucinations are uncharacteristic of this syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse needs more information because the reason the resident's height has decreased is not known. Therefore to obtain the information, the nurse decides to complete a resident assessment before planning an exercise program. The shrinkage can be due to atrophy of intervertebral discs, compression fractures, or changes in the curvature of the spine, any of which can be aggravated by incorrectly exercising. With a complete assessment, however, the nurse can plan a suitable exercise program for the resident. Red, warm, swollen joints are usually due to gout or rheuma-toid arthritis; fortunately, the resident does not have these health problems. However, this is a good recommendation for anyone who exercises. Evaluating an individual's surroundings when exercising does not alert the nurse who is considering an exercise plan for this resident; however, this is a good, general recommendation for anyone who exercises. Warming up with low-to-moderate exercises is a good recommendation for anyone who exercises.
