Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
The following is information on the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED):
 The automated external defibrillator (AED) is a device used to administer an electrical shock through the chest wall to the heart.
 The AED has a built-in computer that assesses the victim's heart rhythm and determines if defibrillation is needed.
 The rescuer delivers a shock to the victim after announcing, Everyone stand back.
 The AED can be used by nonmedical personnel.
 Use of an AED strengthens the chain of survival. Every minute of a sudden cardiac death without defibrillation decreases the survival rate by 7 to 10 (American Heart Association, 2005).

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Nurses use the roller sheet to change the client to an alternate position while avoiding any stooping, reaching, or twisting. The sheet is removed after being used or kept dry and free of wrinkles to prevent skin breakdown. It does not require that the siderails be raised and a client who can move independently is unlikely to require a roller sheet. The sheet must be kept dry but a urinary catheter should not be inserted for this sole reason.
