Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Important nursing assessment of a musculoskeletal injury includes mechanism of injury, degree of impairment, pain level, and obvious deformity and neurovascular assessment. Elevating the affected extremity would exacerbate the pain and deformity of the injury.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Patients with hepatic disease, pulmonary disease, renal disease, and neurologic disorders such as myasthenia gravis, spinal cord injury, or MS must be fully evaluated to assess their ability to tolerate neuromuscular-blocking agents. Neuromuscular-blocking agents can usually be used safely with the pregnant patient and the psychiatric patient.
