Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
While all options are reasonable choices, the best option is to help the client make sick day plans, as that is more comprehensive and inclusive than the other options, which focus on a single item.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The client who had two bloody diarrhea stools that morning may be hemorrhaging in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and should be assessed first. The client with the change in respiratory rate may have an infection or worsening anemia and should be seen next. The other two clients are not a priority at this time.
