Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: The appropriate response is to ask the client what is causing the anger. This helps make the client aware of the behavior and may assist the nurse in planning appropriate interven-tions. Please stop so I don't have to put you in seclusion. and You are going to be restrained if you do not change your behavior. constitute threats to the client, which are inappropriate. Why are you intent on upsetting the other clients? is confrontational and could further escalate the client's behavior.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: The child with congenital heart disease may develop clubbing of the fingers. Clubbing of the fingers is thought to be caused by anoxia or poor oxygenation. Chronic fatigue, poor sucking ability, and consistent sucking on the fingers are unrelated to this occurrence.
