Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
The nurse should assist with activities of daily living because of weakness, record accurate urine output because of oliguria, weigh the patient daily to assess fluid volume status, and assess for changes in level of consciousness. There is no overt threat of a GI bleed with SIADH, so assess-ing stools for occult blood is not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

C
Category III skin tears have complete tissue loss in which the epidermal flap is missing. Category I skin tears do not have tissue loss. Category II skin tears reflect a partial tissue loss. There is no Category IV.
