Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2,3,4

The SBAR is used to enhance the safety of the client in situations where nurses are communicating with other members of the health care team, such as when transferring the client to another unit, conducting change-of-shift report, or contacting the primary care provider. The SBAR is not used for discharge teaching or notifying family members of the client's status.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The client is febrile. The client has a fever, hyperpyrexia, and hyperthermia.
