Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Filtered tubing is generally used when infusing IV solutions to pediatric clients, as it removes air bubbles as well as undissolved drugs, bacteria, and large substances. Vented tubing, not an in-line filter, is necessary when administering solutions in a rigid glass container. An in-line filter is used when the client is at high risk for infection and when administering blood and packed cells, and not when administering nasogastric nutrition to a client.

Answer to Question 2

A
Preparing the client for diagnostic testing begins with the correct scheduling of the procedure. During assessment of the client, the nurse confirms that the client's identification band is in place, that the client has a basic understanding of what the procedure involves, and that any necessary consent forms are signed.
