Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Korotkoff sounds have five unique phases. Phase I begins with the first faint but clear tapping sound that follows a period of silence as pressure is released from the cuff. When the first sound occurs, it corresponds to the peak pressure in the arterial system during heart contraction, or the systolic pressure measurement. This sound does not have the two-stage sound of a heartbeat.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The client has fecal impaction because the large, hardened mass of stool is interfering with defecation. Iatrogenic constipation occurs as a consequence of other medical treatment. Secondary constipation is a consequence of a pathologic disorder. Fecal incontinence is the inability to control the elimination of stool.
