Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
A brain scan is used to evaluate vascular lesions, neoplasms, abscesses, and areas of cerebrovascular ischemia. The rationale for this procedure is that the radioisotope will accumulate in a greater amount at a site of pathology than at normal brain tissue. A lumber puncture may be performed to measure pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) and obtain a sample of CSF for culture and sensitivity.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
When used, binders and bandages should be rewrapped every 2 to 4 hours, not every 1 to 3 hours, 3 to 5 hours, or 4 to 6 hours. The client's skin should be observed and cleansed when the binder is changed.
