Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should brush the client's hair slowly so that it increases circulation and distributes oils. The nurse should start brushing the hair at the ends of the hair rather than from the crown downward if the hair is matted or tangled. Turbans or caps are given to clients who have hair loss from chemotherapy or other medical treatments.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Because the entire dose is administered quickly, bolus administration has the greatest potential to cause life-threatening changes should a drug reaction occur. Use of an electronic infusion device, continuous administration, and secondary administration do have the potential to cause life-threatening changes, but not to the same degree as a bolus administration because the rate at which medication is administered is not as fast as during a bolus.
