Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the client to perform chair exercises during the day since this promotes sleep. Sleeping 4 to 5 hours during the day would interfere with nighttime sleep. The older adult requires about 7 to 9 hours of sleep within a 24-hour period. Engaging the client in watching television before sleep may interfere with sleep because it is stimulating in nature. Exercise that is performed too close to bedtime may similarly stimulate the client and interfere with sleep.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse uses oral suctioning to remove liquid secretions from the mouth of a client with chest congestion. Nurses perform oral suctioning, removal of secretions from the mouth, with a suctioning device called a Yankeur-tip or tonsil-tip catheter. Nasopharyngeal suctioning is the removal of secretions from the throat through a nasally inserted catheter. Nasotracheal suctioning is the removal of secretions from the upper portion of the lower airway through a nasally inserted catheter. Oropharyngeal suctioning is the removal of secretions from the throat through an orally inserted catheter.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
