Answer to Question 1

10 gtt/ml / 15 gtt/ml / 20 gtt/ml
Rationale : A microdrip IV administration set delivers fluids with a drop factor of 60 gtt/mlMacrodrip IV administration sets deliver fluids with a drop factor ranging from 10-20 gtt/ml

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Scatter rugs can cause a client with a cane to fall, as the rug moves easily and does not provide a stable surface for the client. Prevention of falls would be the priority teaching for this client. The cane is held in the hand on the strongest side, moved forward 6 inches, and the elbow should be slightly bent.
