Answer to Question 1

3. Imbalanced Nutrition

Rationale:
The client with urinary calculi, or kidney stones, of lengthy duration is at risk for imbalanced nutrition from the resulting nausea. Activity intolerance, risk for constipation, and risk for disuse syndrome are not as appropriate because the symptoms or urinary calculi do not lead to these diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

3. Limit phone calls and visitors

Rationale:
The client with preeclampsia at risk for injury needs to be placed in a private room near the nurses' station. The room should be a quiet, with phone calls and visitors limited. The semiprivate room might provide too much stimulation. Television and visitors should be limited to reduce stimulation. Frequent phone calls would provide too much stimulation and should be limited.
