Answer to Question 1

C
Tachycardia

Answer to Question 2

B
Second-priority nursing tasks pertain to safety issues. When Nurse Q discovered Mr. K sitting on the floor during her beginning-of-shift walking rounds, it was apparent that this was a safety issue, particularly since this patient also appears to be somewhat confused regarding where he is and why (e.g., the hunting quail comment), and additional assistance would be required to return this patient to bed. First-priority tasks are related to essential ABCs and monitoring of life-threatening or potentially life-threatening conditions. Third-priority tasks concern comfort and teaching. There is no fourth category.
