Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The nurse will need to assess the client's mental status to help accomplish this goal.
Rationale 2: Keeping the client dependent on the staff for care does not encourage independence.
Rationale 3: Making all choices for the client does not encourage independence.
Rationale 4: The major goal for a client who is at risk for injury is for the client to remain injury-free.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Deficient Knowledge deals with injury prevention. A client who is already prone to falls may not have the cognitive ability for a knowledge deficient.
Rationale 2: Risk for Injury is a state in which the individual is at risk as a result of environmental conditions such as a fall.
Rationale 3: Risk for Disuse Syndrome is a deterioration of body system as the result of prescribed or unavoidable musculoskeletal inactivity.
Rationale 4: Risk for Suffocation is inadequate air available for inhalation.
