Answer to Question 1

C
The statement I cannot share that information about the client with you reflects the application of the ethical principle of confidentiality. Client information is not to be shared with others without client consent.
The statement I'm concerned that decreased funding may affect the outpatient program reflects a concern regarding allocation of resources. It is not a confidentiality issue.
The nurse who makes sure that a client fully understands instructions is being ethically responsi-ble.
The statement I need to get more information about the client's health history reflects data gath-ering. The information that is gathered is to be used for the purpose of providing competent health care and should not be shared with others without the specific consent of the client.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A An elevated temperature before surgery is a cause for concern. If the patient has an underlying infection, the surgeon may choose to postpone surgery until the infection has been treated. An elevated body temperature increases the risk of fluid and electrolyte imbalance after surgery.
B Anxiety and fear commonly cause elevations in heart rate and blood pressure. A pulse rate of 90 beats per minute is not a concern.
C A respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute is normal for an adult.
D Anxiety and fear commonly cause elevations in heart rate and blood pressure. A blood pressure of 130/74 mm Hg is not excessively elevated.
