Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should explain that applying lotion on dry skin helps prevent pruritus. The other interventions that help prevent pruritus include wearing cotton, not nylon, gloves or socks at night, rinsing clothes in clear water, and avoiding fabric softeners or starch. Clients should be advised to avoid activities that cause the body to be overheated.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
To determine ounces; 16 oz = 1 lb; multiple pounds by 16 . 1 oz = 28.35 g. To covert ounces to grams, multiply grams by 28.35 . In this case: 6 lb  16 = 96 oz + 7 oz = 103 oz  28.35 = 2920.05.
