Answer to Question 1

C
A, B, C, D. Relocate brachial pulse. Palpate artery distal to the cuff with fingertips of nondominant hand while inflating cuff. Note point at which pulse disappears, and continue to inflate cuff to a pressure 30 mm Hg above that point. Note the pressure reading. Slowly deflate cuff, and note point when pulse reappears. Deflate cuff fully, and wait 30 seconds.

Answer to Question 2

C
In a long-term care facility, the patient is assessed every week for 4 weeks and then quarterly, or whenever the patient's condition changes. An assessment schedule of every 1 to 2 days would be more appropriate for acute care than in the long-term care setting. The patient is not reassessed for risk in the long-term setting every time the nurse sees the patient. The new patient in long-term care is reassessed weekly rather than monthly after he is admitted.
