Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
While exceptions exist, a client who is undergoing an endoscopic procedure is much more likely to be required to fast or cleanse prior to the procedure. This is much less common when the client is scheduled for a radiographic, ultrasonographic, or electrical graphic examination.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In order to promote absorption, the nurse should rub the ointment into the client's skin. Shaking the contents would mix the contents uniformly, whereas applying with a cotton ball would distribute the substance over a wide area. Warming the ointment before application would provide comfort but does not necessarily aid absorption.
