Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Dyspnea is difficult or labored breathing. Bradypnea is an abnormally slow breathing rate and orthopnea is breathing facilitated by sitting up or standing. CheyneStokes respiration refers to an ominous breathing pattern in which the depth of respirations gradually increases, followed by a gradual decrease, and then a period when breathing stops briefly before resuming again.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should suggest the client drink 8 to 10 glasses of liquid daily for good bowel elimination. Laxatives and enemas can be habit-forming. It is unnecessary to limit physical activity or eat several meals each day.
