Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When a client with loss of proprioception uses a bed with side rails, only one side rail of the bed should be up. This will assist the client in moving in and out of the bed. The bed must be placed at the lowest position possible to prevent the client from falling and for easy movement. Thus, it should not be placed 3 feet above the ground. No supports, such as chairs, should be provided for the client to climb up or down from the bed. This increases the chance of injury due to a fall. Having both the side rails up and moving one down from when the client wants to step off the bed may confuse the elderly client and prevent his or her movement out of bed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should inform clients that they should avoid persons and places that present increased risks for infection (e.g., outpatient treatment centers). The client should shave with an electric razor to avoid injuring the skin, and avoid taking a rectal temperature or using a suppository because these could injure delicate tissue.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
