Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

If the client is bleeding vaginally, it would be possible to assess carotid pulse and breathing without coming in contact with bloodborne pathogens. Once the nurse confirms that the client is pulseless, instruct the UAP to call a code while donning personal protective equipment and beginning CPR.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Adhesive wraparound sensors should be repositioned every 4 hours. Spring-loaded tension probes should be repositioned every 2 hours.
