Answer to Question 1

B
Try to control extraneous noise in and around a patient's room, such as television volume and visitors. Turn off bedside equipment not in use. Close a patient's room door if necessary. Hospital staff members need to control loud laughter or conversation at the nurses' station. In addition to controlling excess stimuli, try to introduce meaningful stimulation that makes the environment pleasing and comfortable. Open drapes and close door if indicated. Control extraneous noise in and around room such as television volume and visitors. Turn off bedside equipment not in use.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nursing diagnosis is acceptable information to give to a nursing instructor. To further maintain confidentiality and protect patient privacy, make sure written materials used in student clinical practice do not have patient identifiers, such as room number, date of birth, medical record number, or other identifiable demographic information.
