Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Positioning the patient with the bed flat and the patient's arms to the sides would not best facilitate a patent airway.
B The patient's neck should not be flexed, as this may occlude the airway.
C In the postanaesthetic patient, the tongue causes a majority of airway obstructions. Ongoing assessment of airway patency is crucial. Patients are often kept in side-lying positions until the airway is clear.
D This is not the best position to promote respirations. The patient's arms should never be positioned over or across the chest, because this reduces maximal chest expansion.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Being unable to complete bathing and grooming are not defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis of Powerlessness.
B The patient who is unable to complete bathing and grooming independently has a nursing diagnosis of Self-care deficit.
C Being unable to complete bathing and grooming are not defining characteristics for the nursing diagnosis of Tissue integrity impairment.
D There is no indication that this patient has a Knowledge deficit of hygiene practices.
