Answer to Question 1

A
Serous drainage is clear, watery plasma.
Purulent drainage is thick, yellow, green, tan, or brown.
Without further testing, the nurse would be unable to know if this drainage is cerebrospinal fluid. The nurse should describe the drainage by its appearance (i.e., serous).
Serosanguineous drainage is pale, red, and watery: a mixture of clear and red fluid.

Answer to Question 2

B
In assessing the client's expectations concerning activity and exercise, first determine the client's perception of what is normal or acceptable in regard to physical fitness.
Asking What is your greatest barrier to regular exercise? may not provide as much pertinent information.
Asking What do you want to happen from exercising regularly? may not provide as much per-tinent information.
Asking How much time can you comfortably dedicate to exercise daily? may not provide as much pertinent information.
