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.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
