Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Wounds should be entirely covered with dressings; the binder is applied over the dressing.
B The binder should not be loose, or it will be ineffective in providing support.
C The patient should be lying supine with head slightly elevated and knees slightly flexed for application of the abdominal binder.
D After applying the binder, the nurse should assess the patient's ability to ventilate properly, including deep breathing and coughing.

Answer to Question 2

B
Warfarin and blood thinners interact with ginkgo biloba as designed to improve memory. All herbal supplements should be evaluated with current pharmacological medications. The other options do not have drug interactions with each other.
