Answer to Question 1

3
Latent tuberculosis infection occurs when a person exposed to the mycobacterium has a positive PPD test. This person is without an active clinical picture and has a 10 chance of developing TB if preventive pharmacological treatment is not initiated. The nurse needs pharmacological treatment. Doing nothing could result in active disease. The nurse does not need chest x-rays every 2 months or admission for inpatient treatment.

Answer to Question 2

2
The COPD client's drive to breathe is hypoxia. Increasing the oxygen removes this drive and leads to apnea. Angina occurs because of decreased oxygen to the myocardial tissues. Neither respiratory alkalosis nor metabolic acidosis would occur with the increased oxygen level.

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.
