Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale: The nurse will monitor the client's weight daily.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Helping the client to understand exactly what will happen reduces anxiety caused by fear of the unknown. The nurse would introduce himself to the client rather than making the client identify herself. While helping the client into a gown might be a necessary part of the preparation process, it could increase the client's level of anxiety. Telling the client there is no reason to be nervous negates the client's feelings, and is a barrier to a therapeutic relationship.
