Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
When caring for clients, the nurse should raise the bed to the height of his or her elbow. The nurse should also change the position of a client who is confined to bed at least every 2 hours, ask for the assistance of at least one other caregiver, remove pillows and positioning devices, unfasten drainage tubes from the bed linen, and use a low-friction fabric or gel-filled plastic sheet, among other things.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Acute pain in the abdomen is a physiologic need of the client that receives attention on a priority basis. According to Maslow's hierarchy of human needs, physiologic needs are the most important. These needs are to be fulfilled before seeking to fulfill the other needs. The needs for safety and security, love and belonging, esteem and self-esteem, and self-actualization can only be met if the basic physiologic needs are fulfilled.
