Answer to Question 1

3, 4, 5
All hemodynamic monitoring of patients requires three necessary pieces of equipment: 1) a monitor; 2) a transducer; and 3) a combination of pressure bag, fluid flush device, and tubing system. The other items listed are not equipment needed for hemodynamic monitoring.

Answer to Question 2

1
Instructions to the client prescribed nicotinic acid include ingesting an aspirin 30 minutes to 1 hour before the medication and after food. A gritty taste is not associated with this medication. Constipation is not an expected gastrointestinal side effect of this medication. This medication does not cause fatigue.
