Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Anticipating that the client's muscles will be weak, the nurse will plan to help the client perform pre-ambulation exercises to help regain strength in the muscles before attempting to walk the client. It would be best to wait an hour or two after meals to ambulate. Passive ROM will not help to strengthen muscles, although active ROM will be helpful. The nurse is not preparing to transfer the client, and will need to determine if assistance is required by the client's pre-bedrest activity level.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse listens for at least two consecutive tapping sounds to ensure that they are not extraneous sounds, and then labels the first sound as the systolic blood pressure. A muffled whooshing sound is heard in phase 2, while a muffled blowing quality develops in phase 4.
