Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
When assessing an obese client, a larger blood pressure cuff will likely be needed in order to prevent false high readings. It is not in the nurse's scope of practice to determine when and if cholesterol levels and an ECG are ordered. Diet education may or may not be warranted depending on the cause of the obesity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The assessment of a child often involves parental assistance.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
