Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Confusion, restlessness, and behavioral changes may occur as a result of cerebral hypoxia showing the need to address oxygenation levels. The signs and symptoms of pneumonia may be altered in older persons. Pleuritic pain may not be severe; there may be or may not be a fever. Symptoms may include a slight cough, fatigue, and rapid respiration.

Answer to Question 2

B
Care of the patient with an ileal conduit is a nursing challenge because of the continual drainage of urine through the stoma. Complication of this procedure is wound infection, dehiscence, and urinary leakage.
