Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: By increasing lung expansion and preventing accumulation of secretions, deep breathing helps prevent pneumonia and atelectasis.
Rationale 2: These are nursing interventions and do not need to be prescribed by a physician.
Rationale 3: Although this may be true, it does not instruct the client as to the purpose of the exercises.
Rationale 4: Turning, deep breathing, and coughing exercises do not prevent thrombophlebitis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Absence of bleeding is an indication of healing.
Rationale 2: If the wound becomes warm, red, and edematous, the nurse should suspect an infection and notify the physician.
Rationale 3: Edges that are well approximated is an indication of healing.
Rationale 4: Intact sutures is a sign of healing.
