Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Potential teaching needs should be identified from the time when the client is admitted. The client would therefore need to be taught the benefits of a proper diet during admission so as to minimize the risk of diarrhea. There is a greater probability of the client retaining the teaching if the teaching starts during admission. The teaching may be amended during the caring, treatment, and discharge phases.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Conscious sedation refers to a state in which the client is sedated in a state of relaxation and emotional comfort, but is not unconscious. The client is free of pain, fear, and anxiety and can tolerate unpleasant diagnostic and short therapeutic surgical procedures, such as an endoscopy or bone marrow aspiration. The client can respond verbally and physically. However, no equipment can replace a nurse's careful observations for monitoring clients.
