Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Since this IV is being initiated to support the administration of IV antibiotic therapy that is not scheduled to start until noon, the nurse should let the UAP give the bath and then start the IV.
Rationale 2: Having the UAP bathing one side of the client while the nurse starts the IV on the opposite side would be uncomfortable and stressful for the client and could potentially compromise client modesty. This action would also not protect the IV site from movement while the UAP completes the bath.
Rationale 3: Since this IV is being initiated to support the administration of IV antibiotic therapy that is not scheduled to start until noon, the nurse should let the UAP give the bath and then start the IV. This will protect the IV site from movement during this bath.
Rationale 4: There is no reason to skip the bath.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: A potassium level of 3.4 is low, so the client should be encouraged to consume potassium-rich foods. Of the foods listed, the highest in potassium is cantaloupe.
