Answer to Question 1

3. Apply cool compresses

Rationale:
Joint pain associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation can be reduced by applying cool compresses to the affected joints to reduce the transmission of pain impulses. Heat will encourage bleeding and should not be applied to this client. Splints may hinder joint mobility and are not indicated for the care of this client. Ice should not be applied but rather cool compresses.

Answer to Question 2

1. An RN with an associate degree who has a head nurse position

Rationale:
According to the ANA's proposal, only the baccalaureate graduate would be licensed under the legal title registered nurse. The graduate with an associate degree or diploma would be considered a technical nurse. If the ANA proposal is implemented, nurses who are currently licensed and educated in associate degree or diploma programs would have to be considered under a grandfather clause, provided that their performance meets established standards. If an institution required a minimum of a baccalaureate degree for the position of head nurse, an RN who is currently employed as a head nurse but who does not hold the baccalaureate degree would have no guarantee of retaining that position.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
