A nurse doing an assessment would correctly summon a physician immediately if he detected the breath sounds known as
 
  1. Rales.
  2. Rhonchi.
  3. Wheezes.
  4. Stridor.

Question 2

A patient is readmitted to the hospital 3 days after having been discharged. She presents with the same respiratory symptoms she presented with on her first admission. She is assigned to the same nurse.
 
  The first thing that nurse should do is
  1. A comprehensive health assessment, because as much information as possible is needed about why the patient has returned to the hospital.
  2. A focused assessment of her respiratory system, because that is the system with the recurring problem.
  3. An initial head-to-toe shift assessment to establish a baseline for future assessments.
  4. Any form of assessment, because the nurse already has plenty of recent assessments from the patient's previous hospital stay to use as baselines.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
