Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A cold compress is used to reduce swelling. Warm compresses are used to stimulate circulation, relax muscles, and relieve stiffness. A cold compress slows the circulation and does not help to relax the muscles or relieve stiffness.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should fan-fold the top linens to the bottom third of the bed to ensure that the client can easily get into the bed. Covers are pulled up to the head of the bed in a closed bed. Covering the top sheet with a blanket helps to keep the client warm. The nurse should allow the bed to remain at a higher level if the client is immobile and being transferred from a stretcher. The bed should be kept at a lower position for a mobile client to allow easy access.
