Answer to Question 1

B
If a patient is unconscious, identification often is not made until family members arrive. Delaying treatment can cause deterioration of the patient's condition. Blackout procedures are intended mainly to protect crime victims.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Air-fluidized beds provide continuous circulation of warm, dry air, which may increase patient risk for dehydration. The bed also may increase room temperature, making it uncomfortable for the patient and possibly leading to overheating of the equipment. Another concern is that the bed is heavy and expensive. Unless the patient has a physician order, third-party payment may not be available.
