Answer to Question 1

1
The chest tube should not be clamped or raised above the chest when ambulating. All other options are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

2
Clients allergic to penicillin are often given clindamycin since this medication is not part of the penicillin family. Metronidazole and ampicillin should not be administered to this client. Steroid is not an antibiotic.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
