Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Contractility: ability to shorten and become thicker. Extensibility: ability to stretch. Elasticity: ability to return to normal length after stretching. Irritability: ability to respond to a stimulus (nerve impulses).

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Monitoring the client's condition frequently is an example of an independent nursing action. Taking off the client's oxygen mask, determining the strength of medication in the intravenous solution, and administering medicines are all examples of collaborative problems because the nurse cannot perform these interventions without consulting the physician first.
