Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
This nursing intervention helps reduce Risk for Infection by strengthening self-care for elimination. The other choices, though important interventions, are not directly related to the diagnosis Risk for Infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The target heart rate is 145  75 (220  75 = 145 maximum heart rate) = 108 . The client should reduce the intensity of exercises if the heart rate is more than 10 beats above the appropriate target heart rate.
