Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse should tell the patient to avoid coughing or straining, which may cause increased intra-abdominal pressure. Immediately following a liver biopsy, the patient is kept on bed rest for 24 hours. The patient should lie on his or her right side for about 1 to 2 hours.

Answer to Question 2

back blows

If the nurse is assisting a child who has aspirated a foreign body, the nurse may treat the child in a manner similar to the adult with performance of abdominal thrusts. However, there is a potential for injury if the nurse uses this maneuver in the infant. The nurse should use a combination of back blows and chest thrusts with an infant.
