Answer to Question 1

2
Areas to include in the assessment of a client's learning needs include the client's ability to learn, style of learning, information about a health condition, cultural background, and other information as required. The client's home address, living arrangements, and financial resources are not a part of a client's assessment of learning needs.

Answer to Question 2

1
If an intravenous catheter has to be placed over a joint, the nurse should use an arm board to immobilize the site, prolong the life of the intravenous line, and decrease mechanical phlebitis.
