Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The advantage of a cover gown is that its close-fitting wristbands help avoid contaminating the forearms. Cover gowns are not biodegradable; after use, they are laundered or incinerated. Cover gowns are never loose-fitting; instead, fasteners at the neck and waist keep the gown securely closed, thus covering all the wearer's clothing. A gown is never worn between contacts with more than one client.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Negligence is defined as harm that occurs because the person did not act reasonably. In this case, the nurse did not realize that the client was on a nasogastric tube, and should consequently have been on liquid feeds after intestinal surgery; as a result, the patient developed complications. The acts of not calling the physician and communicating poorly do not amount to negligence. The dietary department sending the wrong food is unrelated to the nurse.
