Answer to Question 1

B
Auscultation of crackles or rhonchi in the lungs may signal fluid buildup in the lungs caused by fluid volume excess. Poor skin turgor is common with fluid volume deficit. The pinched skin stays elevated for several seconds (tenting). This may be an indication of the need for IV therapy. Decreased blood pressure may indicate fluid volume deficit caused by a decrease in stroke volume. This may indicate the need for IV therapy. Dry skin and mucous membranes may indicate dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

C
C. Don surgical shoe covers, cap or hood, face mask, and protective eyewear.
A. Remove bracelets, rings, and watches.
B. Don new surgical shoe covers, cap or hood, face mask, and protective eyewear for every procedure.
D. Laser surgery requires special protective eyewear to prevent eye damage from stray laser energy.
