Answer to Question 1

D
Lordosis is the forward curvature of the lumbar spine. A list is a lateral lean of the spine. Scoliosis is the lateral deviation in the vertical line of the spine. Kyphosis is an abnormally increased convexity in the curvature of the spine.

Answer to Question 2

4. Apply cool washcloths to the face and neck.

Rationale:
Until the client has orders written, the nurse can apply cool washcloths to the client's face and neck to increase comfort and reduce the client's body temperature. Warm blankets and fluid restriction would help keep the temperature elevated. Assessing vital signs is important; however, the nurse needs to intervene to help bring the body temperature down.
