Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The assessment environment should have a door or curtain to provide the client with privacy whenever possible. It is not necessary to have a bed that can be placed in the Trendelenburg position. The temperature should be comfortable, not cool, and adequate lighting is essential.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client's name is an important component of the medication order; without it, the nurse should withhold the administration of the drug. The client's age, diagnosis, and signature are not components of the medication order. Other components of the medication order include the date and time the order is written, the drug name, the dose to be administered, the route of administration, the frequency of administration, and the signature of the person ordering the drug.
