Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Assessing what alternative measures are being used is important because the action of an herb can interfere with prescribed medications. Assessing the use of herbal remedies is not done to understand the patient's philosophy of alternative health care, determine the types of medications the patient will need to be prescribed, or explain the patient's preferences for nontraditional medicine approaches to the physician.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback
A Children can compensate and maintain an adequate cardiac output when they are
hypovolemic. Blood pressure is not as reliable an indicator of shock as are
changes in heart rate, sensorium, and skin color.
B Respiratory assessments will not provide data about impending hypovolemic
shock.
C Changes in heart rate, sensorium, and skin color are early indicators of
impending shock in the child.
D Diet tolerance, bowel function, and abdominal girth are not as important
indicators of shock as heart rate, sensorium, and skin color.
