Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Depression can cause chronic fatigue. Compliance with medications results in relief of depression and therefore increases energy levels. Shopping, spending time with friends, and increasing exercise levels will not help the client who is clinically depressed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Blood in the urine is fairly common after surgery. The healing period after prostate surgery is 4-8 weeks, and the client should avoid strenuous activity during this time. Continued increase in fluid intake will help the urine to remain dilute and reduce the risk of clot formation. The client should not drive after surgery for at least 2 weeks.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
