Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

Statements that indicate that the client understood the discharge instructions include the use of an abduction pillow to maintain proper hip alignment; using a high toilet seat to prevent excess flexion of the hip, and knowing that there may be an increased risk for bruising due to the prescribed warfarin, an anticoagulant. The client should use the walker at all times until told otherwise. The client is taking warfarin, not ibuprofen, to decrease the risk for deep vein thrombosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, D

A client who is overweight and/or obese is at an increased risk for degenerative joint disease and functional and mobility problems. There is no relationship between obesity and chronic cough or urinary retention. There may be some relationship indirectly to stroke.
