Answer to Question 1

D
Medical management is directed toward treating the underlying cause of ARDS and includes mechanical ventilatory support, bronchial suctioning, and total parenteral nutrition. A variety of medications are prescribed, including corticosteroids, diuretics, bronchodilators, and vasopressors. The client is placed in intensive care, and nursing care is focused on improving gas exchange, monitoring vital signs and respiratory status, and relieving anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Among elderly clients, accidental falls are the most important safety issue of which nurses and caregivers should be aware. Falls may result in major life-changing events, robbing the older person of his or her independence. Drowning, poisoning, and electrical injury are safety issues in toddlers.
