Answer to Question 1

1
The client who learns by hearing prefers an auditory learning style. The client who learns by reading uses a visual learning style. The client who learns by doing or touching is using a kinesthetic learning style. Anesthetic is not a type of learning style but rather a medication used for surgery.

Answer to Question 2

2
If infiltration is suspected, the nurse should compare both arms. The dominant arm should be a bit larger, but a significant difference in size could mean infiltration. A blood return may still be visible with an infiltrated intravenous line. A lack of a blood return does not always mean the cannula is no longer in the vein since some cannulas can collapse when aspirating from them. Presence of pain could be due to the solution type. Hypertonic solutions cause more pain. The presence of a temperature could mean a variety of health conditions and not necessarily an infiltration.
