Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

A nosocomial infection is an infection that originates specifically in the hospital, whereas a health care-associated infection can originate in any health care setting. Not enough information is provided to determine whether the infection is bacterial in nature, and there is no such thing as a therapeutic infection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
When conducting a musculoskeletal assessment, the nurse will test the range of motion and strength in the client's hips, knees, ankles, and feet first. Assisting the client to a standing position is the second step. Assessing the skin on the posterior legs is the third step. Performing a Romberg test is the fourth step.
