Answer to Question 1

2,3,4
Rationale 1: The patient should be advised to sit more, not to stand.
Rationale 2: Walking on a daily basis will increase the venous circulation.
Rationale 3: Crossing her legs at the knees will restrict venous return to the heart.
Rationale 4: Support hose can help increase the venous return to the heart.
Rationale 5: Hyperextending the knee is not recommended; the entire leg should be supported when elevated.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale 1: Blood pressure can assist in the diagnosis of infection, but is not the primary vital sign.
Rationale 2: Rupture of membranes for 14 hours places the mother at risk for infection. The temperature is the primary and often the first indication of a problem.
Rationale 3: Pulse can assist in the diagnosis of infection, but is not the primary vital sign.
Rationale 4: Respirations can assist in diagnosis of infection, but are not the primary sign.
