Answer to Question 1

1
The chest tube should not be clamped or raised above the chest when ambulating. All other options are appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

2
Clients allergic to penicillin are often given clindamycin since this medication is not part of the penicillin family. Metronidazole and ampicillin should not be administered to this client. Steroid is not an antibiotic.
