Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Frothy, yellow-green discharge is seen in a client with trichomoniasis. Green discharge that has a foul smell is associated with gonorrhea. A yellow discharge can be visualized in a client with a chlamydial infection. Thick, whitish discharge can be visualized in a client with candidiasis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The nurse can visualize the sacrococcygeal area by asking the client to bend over a table at the waist or to lie on the left side with the knees flexed. Orthopneic position is utilized by clients who are unable to breathe with the head of bed lower. Orthopneic position allows the client to sit up straight and use a tripod position to lean over a bedside table. The semi-Fowler's position is when the client is positioned on his back in a dorsal recumbent position. The nurse can use a lithotomy position to perform a pelvic examination.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
