Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

A face mask and gloves are essential equipment when providing care to a client on respiratory isolation. The nurse will require the use of more than a gown when caring for a client on respiratory isolation. The nurse will require the use of more than gloves when caring for a client on respiratory isolation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The best means of checking this client's temperature would be axillary. A rectal temperature would be contraindicated by rectal surgery. The client who is confused should not have an oral temperature taken for fear the client will bite down on the thermometer and injure himself. The tympanic route would be acceptable, but oral would be contraindicated.
