Answer to Question 1

1
Hydroxyzine HCL is an antihistamine used to relieve pruritis associated with contact dermatitis. Covering the area with a warm compress could cause the area to itch more. The client should be instructed to avoid scratching. Ambulation will not help reduce the itchiness.

Answer to Question 2

3
The head of the client's bed must be at least 30 degrees to decrease the risk of aspiration during feeding. Placement must be checked prior to feeding, and NG tubes are not for long-term use.
