Answer to Question 1

B
Signs and symptoms of a fat embolism include severe pain, dyspnea, restlessness, cyanosis, shock, and petechiae over the neck, upper arms, and chest. Treatment consists of bed rest, oxygen, and intravenous (IV) fluids.

Answer to Question 2

C
Clients who develop lowered platelet counts (below 50,000/mm3) are at risk for bleeding. Nurses should monitor these clients for development of bruises or petechiae, for evidence of blood in urine or stools, and for bleeding from any site. Clients should be instructed to use a soft toothbrush and to avoid taking any medication containing acetylsalicylic acid.
