Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Skin turgor is a measure of hydration, but it is not the single best indicator of a patient's fluid status.
B Intake and output measurements are an important nursing intervention for monitoring fluid status; however, daily weights are the best indicator.
C Serum electrolytes help monitor fluid status. Daily weights are the single best indicator of a patient's fluid status.
D Daily weights are the single most important indicator of fluid status.

Answer to Question 2

B
Chest percussion is recommended for a client who produces greater than 30 mL of sputum a day. It would be appropriate to assist the cystic fibrosis client in mobilizing the thick pulmonary se-cretions.
Percussion is contraindicated in clients with bleeding disorders, such as the client with thrombo-cytopenia.
Percussion is contraindicated in the client with osteoporosis.
Percussion is contraindicated in the client with a spinal fracture or with fractured ribs.
