Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the older adult client's blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine before and after any procedure that uses dye. The aging population is at increased risk for kidney damage, and the nurse should promptly report any elevations in BUN and creatinine values.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
A common cause of skin breakdown is shearing force caused by clothing, bed linens, or client safety devices. Immobility and low level of activity can occur as a result of lying/sitting in one position for extended periods of time and paralysis. Presence of external moisture can result from perspiration, urine, and feces. Sensory loss is a cause of skin breakdown.
