Answer to Question 1

B
When getting the client up for the first time after a period of bed rest, the nurse should document orthostatic changes. The nurse first obtains a baseline blood pressure.
Assessing the client's respiratory function is not the nurse's first intervention when getting a cli-ent up for the first time after prolonged bed rest.
After the nurse assesses the client's blood pressure, the nurse can assist the client to a sitting po-sition at the side of the bed.
After the client is in the sitting position at the side of the bed, the nurse should ask the client if he or she feels light-headed.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most important concept of Chinese medicine is the concept of yin and yang, which repre-sents opposing, yet complementary phenomena that exist in a state of dynamic equilibrium. When an imbalance exists in these two paired opposites, it is thought that disease occurs.
Meridians are the channels of energy that run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. This is not the primary concept of traditional Chinese medicine.
The six evil senses are external causes of disease according to traditional Chinese medicine. They are wind, cold, fire, damp, summer heat, and dryness. This is not the primary concept upon which traditional Chinese medicine is based.
Acupoints are certain points on the body where special needles are inserted to modify the per-ception of pain, normalize physiological functions, or treat or prevent disease. Acupuncture is just one healing modality used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is not the primary concept upon which traditional Chinese medicine is based.
