Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Although all the comfort measures listed above are important, maintaining a patent (open) airway is probably the most important factor in promoting client comfort. Many clients have lung involvement, causing dyspnea. Stress reduction and position changes help provide maximum comfort. Using a fan to circulate air or an air conditioner to cool the room and elevating the head of the bed may also help.

Answer to Question 2

D
