Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A pneumatic compression device promotes the circulation of venous blood and relocation of excess fluid into the lymphatic vessels. The device does not pump a liquid diet to the client, aid the client to void, or reduce swelling and pain.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Health teaching is a mandated nursing activity. State nurse practice acts require health teaching, and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has made it a criterion for accreditation. The CDC, NLN, and HHS are unanimously supportive of health education but neither has specifically mandated the practice.
