Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Bath water and lake water are potential sources of bacterial contamination. Diving and swimming deeply under water are prohibited. Parents need to be instructed that the child should not blow the nose for 7 to 10 days. The child's ears need to be kept dry, and Vaseline on cotton balls or earplugs can be placed in the ears during a bath or shower.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: If a client threatens to act out physically during a group session, the client should be told that he can talk about his anger but cannot act on it in during the group session. Tell the client that he must leave immediately, call security to come to the session immediately, and tell the client that if he hits another client, he will be restrained and placed in seclusion are in-appropriate initial nursing actions. Because the client's action was a threat, it is best for the nurse to deal with the behavior. Call security to come to the session immediately is a premature ac-tion. Telling the client that he must leave immediately or that if he hits another client he will be restrained and placed in seclusion violates the client's rights, based on the information provided in the question.
