Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: The client with diabetes mellitus is especially at risk for side effects when taking this medication, which is a glucocorticoid. The client may experience elevations in the blood glucose level, which should be monitored routinely. The diagnoses identified in cirrhosis, hypertension, and chronic constipation are not a concern.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: The nursing assistant should blot the spill with an absorbent disposable material, such as paper towels or terry wipes, but not with a face cloth or cloth towel. Gloves are worn for the procedure, and tongs are used to pick up any broken glass. The area is disinfected with a dilute bleach solution or an agency-approved product.
