Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
Proper positioning of the SCD sleeve allows proper fit and application, which decreases the risk of constricting the blood flow or diminishing optimal outcomes. Wrap the sleeve around the leg, and fasten it with Velcro straps. Verify that two fingers fit between the leg and the sleeve when the sleeve is not inflated. Connect the sleeves to the device, ensure that there are no kinks in the tubing, and turn on the cooling and set it to 35 to 55 mm Hg.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D
To ensure patients do not have hazards that can cause falls at home, the nurse should evaluate where the living quarters are. If the patient has stairs, they need to be able to safely learn how to use the stairs. They need to remove throw rugs that are a trip hazard and place nonskid mats in front of sinks, tubs, and showers. They can shower with a bench or chair in the shower for sitting.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
