Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Each cubicle needs a suction apparatus, cardiac monitor, pulse oximeter, blood pressure measurement device, and oxygen administration equipment. Additional supplies that are available include warming devices, airway management equipment, intravenous fluids and administration sets, dressing reinforcement materials, medications, indwelling Foley catheters and drainage systems, emesis basins, and bedpans. Lead screens and lead shielding should be available for surrounding patients and staff when x-rays are taken.

The adult patient is offered an opportunity to verbally describe their pain. Pediatric patients may describe their pain according to the FACES scale.
