Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Deodorizers might be contraindicated for the client with respiratory disorders. All of the other activities are supportive of the client's environmental needs.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The nurse should return the bed to the low position to prevent injury to the client if he attempts to get out of bed autonomously. Side rails are generally contraindicated with most clients suffering from dementia because of the risk for injury if they attempt to crawl over the rail. The position of the bed would be determined by the time of day, activities the client will be performing, and client preference. There would be no reason to remove the footboard from the bed.
