Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The nurse will offer AM care, but this might not meet the client's needs.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,5
Rationale: The intravenous line provides direct access to the bloodstream, and if pathogens are introduced, the risk of septicemia is very high. IV complications must be carefully monitored, and require a quick response to minimize damage. Once a medication is injected, it cannot be removed, because it begins circulating in the bloodstream. The client does not regulate the IV, and must be taught how to protect the IV and avoid touching anything that would change the flow rate of the fluid.
