Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
All equipment and items that enter the client's room should be latex-free. Blood pressure cuffs, unless specifically latex free, use a bladder made of latex despite the type of device.

Answer to Question 2

D
When a client is experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms, the nurse should obtain data: history of the present complaint, including such aspects as length and frequency of symptoms, when symptoms occur, and factors that aggravate symptoms; the client's medication history, including both prescribed and over-the-counter drugs and the effectiveness of these medications; complete nutritional history, including foods that increase or decrease the symptoms, the effect of meals on symptoms, the appearance of symptoms within a certain time frame following meals, and the amount of fat, fiber, and fluids usually consumed; psychosocial factors, including compliance and noncompliance with health status and the client's typical meal patterns; physical examination, including the client's ability to chew and swallow and abdominal inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation; the client's bowel elimination patterns, including frequency, consistency, and quantity of bowel movements; and evaluation of diagnostic data, including reports of the client's laboratory, radiologic, and endoscopic examinations.
