Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Moving the client to a cooler area, uncovering the client's head, and keeping the client calm are the interventions that a nurse should perform when administering care to a client with heat cramps. When providing care to the client with severe heat cramps, give the client very dilute salt solutions if the client can swallow.

Feedback:
Signs and symptoms of pneumothorax include SOB or severe dyspnea, asymmetrical chest, mediastinal shift toward the affected side, sudden sharp chest pain, drop in blood pressure, weak, rapid pulse, cessation of breathing movement on affected side, cyanosis, and change in level of consciousness.
