Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse can ensure the client's safety by checking for nonskid strips on the floors of bathtubs and showers, along with strategically placed handles and grab bars that reduce the risk of falls for elderly adults when bathing. Grab bars should be placed not at shoulder level but at arm level and within reach of the dominant arm. As the client has a skin infection, providing him with a damp towel will add to his problem. Oils are not used in showers or bathtubs as they increase the risk of falls.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A continuous infusion is the instillation of a parenteral drug over several hours. It is also called a continuous drip, which involves adding medication to a large volume of IV solutionapproximate ly 500 to 1,000 ml, not less.
