Answer to Question 1

D
Do not document in the nurses' notes that an occurrence report was completed. All the other en-tries are accurate. Objectively record the details of the event and any statements
the patient makes. At the time of the event, always assess the patient thoroughly, and then con-tact the health care provider to examine him or her.

Answer to Question 2

D
Different scales can give different weights for patients. To ensure accurate clinical decisions, weigh patients at the same time of day, on the same scale, and in the same clothes. Hold a hand lightly above the infant to prevent accidental falls. The scale can measure in weight increments to the nearest 0.1 pound or 0.1 kg.
