Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to avoid lifting heavy weights. Braces can be used to provide support to the client. The nurse should observe the client with non- Hodgkin's lymphoma and not multiple myeloma for enlarged lymph nodes. The nurse should monitor the client for an increase, instead of a decrease, in blood calcium level.
