Answer to Question 1

4
Intermittent infusion means that a small volume of fluid is infused in a short amount of time. A continuous infusion means that a large volume of fluid is infused over hours and days. Patient-controlled infusion provides the client with the ability to deliver a pain medication. Direct injection provides the medication directly into the bloodstream for immediate results.

Answer to Question 2

4
Health promotion interventions are for healthy individuals and are intended to maximize their health status. The 35-year-old client who wants to begin an exercise program would benefit from health promotion instruction. The other clients are considered to be ill and would not benefit from instruction in health promotion behaviors.
