Answer to Question 1

1. Moist mucous membranes

Rationale:
Evidence that interventions have been effective for a client with an elevated body temperature includes moist mucous membranes and good skin turgor. Urine output of 20 ml/hour indicates dehydration. Blood pressure of 118/68 mmHg is not an indication of the control of fever. The tenting of skin indicates dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

B
A durable power of attorney allows the patient to appoint a person to make health-related decisions when the patient is incapable of making them.
