Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Touching the mask by the strings for both putting it on and taking it off is the appropriate intervention because the mask is contaminated. Bending the strip at the top of the mask, looping the ties over the ears, and tying the strings in a bow under the chin are all interventions used when applying a mask.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Clients who participate in sports, strenuous exercise, or athletics of any kind should be educated about the dangers of unreported head injuries. Adolescents are at the greatest risk for not reporting sports-related injuries, but adults should be educated about the dangers as well. Clients who have been injured playing a sport, or even those receiving a sports physical, could be counseled by nurses about the risks of unreported concussions.
