Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Assessing serum albumin levels helps determine the client's nutritional status and allows care providers to alter the diet, as needed, to prevent pressure ulcers. All other options are treatment oriented rather than prevention oriented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Moving a joint beyond the point at which the client feels pain or resistance can damage the joint. The nurse should move the joint only to the point of resistance. Splinting the joint will not assist the client's range of motion. The client's joint should not be forced. Applying weights to the extremity will not increase range of motion of the joint but most likely will cause damage.
