Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3,4

Although all of these items are required when documenting a client transfer, the only items that document the client's response to the transfer are the pulse rate and blood pressure. Comparing the vital signs before and after the transfer allows the nurse to assess how the client handled the transfer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

The nurse would not document instructions provided to staff in the client's medical record. However, the nurse would document the number of personnel required for turning and positioning the client, to provide for continuity of care. The client's ability to assist with positioning is important documentation to track the client's progress. Pressure areas or contractures are important information to document.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
