Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
If a female client is assessed with abnormal nipple discharge, the nurse should note the color of the discharge; determine if the discharge is from one or both breasts; obtain a sample of the discharge with a sterile cotton-tipped swab; and assess the drainage for occult blood. The nurse should not apply sterile bandages over the nipple nor pad the client's bra with gauze.

Answer to Question 2

3
There are three levels of personal protective equipment. With a Level A suit, the highest level of respiratory and chemical protection is provided. This suit provides resistance to chemicals and is impermeable to gases and vapors. In a Level B suit, there is respiratory protection but chemical vapors are able to permeate the suit. The Level C suit provides splash protection and chemical resistance.

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.
