Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse uses the nursing process to care for the immobile client and assesses for complications resulting from lack of mobility. While sleep is important, the client who is unable to reposition themselves must be repositioned every two hours, not hourly. The client performs active, not passive, ROM.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: At a higher altitude, there is less oxygen in the atmosphere, requiring faster respirations to obtain the same oxygen acquired at lower elevations. The respirations would increase to try to obtain more oxygen. See-saw respirations are uneven breathing, and diminished breath sounds are not a part of counting respirations.
