Answer to Question 1

B
Entries should be concise, factual, and accurate. The entry Client verbalized sharp, stabbing pain along the left side of chest is an example of an objective description of a client's behaviour.
The nurse should not document physician made error. Instead, the nurse could chart, Dr. Green was called to clarify order for medication administration.
The nurse should chart only for himself or herself. In this case, Nurse Williams should write the charting entry.
Only objective descriptions of the client's behaviour should be recorded. For example, Client states, I don't want physiotherapy I want to go home'

Answer to Question 2

B
No jewelry or metal products should be in the same room as an MRI machine because of the high-power magnet used in the machine. The patient needs to be NPO 4 to 6 hours before the examination. Colon cleansing products are not necessary for MRIs. Pain medication is not needed before the examination is performed.
