Answer to Question 1

C
The pleura is the transparent membrane covering the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should give the client a bag bath because it will save time, which is important since seizures could occur at any time. A bag bath involves the use of a commercially packaged kit with 8 to 10 premoistened, disposable cloths in a plastic bag or container and is another form of a bed bath. The nurse should not give a bed bath as it takes longer than the bag bath and requires assistance from the client. A shower would be a safety risk due to the client's risk of seizures. A tub bath is not recommended as it can be dangerous for a client with seizures to be left alone in the bathroom.

Answer to Question 3

A
Feedback:
The nurse should tell the client to remove and store the dentures in water in a covered cup. The nurse should tell the client to clean the dentures and removable bridges with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and cold or tepid waternot hot waterto prevent damage. The nurse should not tell the client to clean dentures with a tissue or to keep them wrapped in a tissue as the tissue can stick to the dentures, leading to possible contamination and transfer of microorganisms.
