Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Osteoarthritis causes changes to support structures, increasing the client's risk for low back pain. The other clients are not at high risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
Increased ICP is a complication of encephalitis. The nurse should monitor for signs of increased ICP, including dilated pupils, widened pulse pressure, bradycardia, irregular respirations, and less responsive pupils. Photophobia and headache are not related to increased ICP.
