A wife is extremely upset about her husband's respirations. A nurse explains that this type of breathing is a symptom of end-stage disease. The breathing is called Cheyne-Stokes and is characterized by
 
  1. Slow, shallow respirations.
  2. Slow, deep respirations.
  3. A cycle of shallow and deep respirations.
  4. Cyanosis of the hands and feet.

Question 2

Immediately after a patient's death, a nurse performs postmortem care. Correct care would include
 
  1. Insisting that the family bathe the patient so they can begin the grieving process.
  2. Documenting the time when the patient stopped breathing and the heart ceased.
  3. Notifying the physician so that the patient will be legally pronounced dead.
  4. Bathing the body and removing all tubes, unless an autopsy might be ordered.
