Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Auscultating body sounds requires a quiet environment in which the nurse can listen not just for the presence or absence of sounds, but also for the characteristics of each sound. External distractions such as radios, televisions, and loud equipment should be eliminated whenever possible. The student nurse should note the intensity, pitch, and duration of the auscultated sound. The student nurse should ensure that the client remains warm during this part of the assessment because shivering can impair the nurse's ability to hear the sound well. The nurse cannot listen through gowns or drapes. The student nurse should place the stethoscope firmly over the area to be auscultated.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 29 milliliters per hour
The client has produced 230 milliliters of urine over the last 8 hours. 230 divided by 8 is 28.75. When rounded to the nearest whole number, it is 29 milliliters per hour.
