Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Meconium-stained amniotic fluid is an abnormal fetal finding and is an indication for continuous fetal monitoring. Changing the client's position is not indicated. Meconium-stained amniotic fluid does not indicate that birth is imminent. Oxygen administration is not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Because the majority of gunshot wounds require an investigation by law enforcement, nurses working in emergency departments and trauma centers should be familiar with their agency's protocols for maintaining evidence required by law enforcement. Often, law enforcement does not want the victim's hands or the area around the victim's wounds cleansed. Clothes and personal items are often wanted as evidence. The nurse should not bathe the client and provide a clean gown. The nurse should not ask the client who shot him or where the weapon is. The nurse should preserve the chain of evidence.
