The nurse is assessing a client's risk for formation of pressure ulcers. One of the most important risk factors is:
 
  1. Repeated injections in the same area
  2. Incorrect application of pressure-relieving devices
  3. Poor lifting techniques
  4. Immobility

Question 2

The nurse provides prenatal teaching to the client who is newly diagnosed as pregnant, and determines the client understood the instructions when she says:
 
  1. I will take my prenatal vitamins every day and avoid foods high in mercury, like tuna.
  2. I will keep my cat's litter box very clean to avoid infection.
  3. I will not drink more than 1-2 alcoholic beverages per week.
  4. I will adjust my seat belt when driving so it is at the level of my waist.

Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Repeated injections in the same area contribute to tissue ischemia and the formation of pressure ulcers, but are not one of the most important risk factors

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Pregnant women should be taught to take their prenatal vitamins to avoid deficiencies, and to avoid eating foods high in mercury in order to reduce the risk of fetal damage. Someone else should clean the cat's litter box, so the pregnant woman can avoid exposure to toxoplasmosis. Safe levels of alcohol intake have not been established, so the pregnant woman should avoid all alcohol intake, and the seat belt should be placed low on the pelvis to avoid fetal harm.
