Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E, F
Feedback:
Each client in the long-term care system should have a case manager or care manager (CM) who oversees the client's case, regardless of the length of care or whether the client is cared for in a facility or the community. In a short-term stay, the head nurse or nursing director will serve as case manager. The CM is the local advocate for the client and must ensure that the client is receiving appropriate care. The CM often evaluates the client's money management skills, and the CM or a family member may be designated as the client's payee, receiving the client's monthly check and disbursing funds appropriately.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Common symptoms of circulatory overload are elevated blood pressure and bounding pulse, not decreased oxygen saturation or increased respiratory rate.
