Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should mark the client's walker with a large, easily readable label to enable easy identification. The nurse need not provide the client with another walker during his stay at the facility, keep the walker in a locker until the client is discharged, or ask relatives to bring the walker only at the time of discharge.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
It is best to have a second nurse's, supervisor's, or security person's signature along with the client's signature on the envelope containing secured valuables.
