Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The priority nursing action is to initiate IV lines because the client might require blood or medications to be administered in order to compensate for the fluid volume deficit. The nurse may have someone else requisition the blood and laboratory work while the nurse initiates the IV lines. An indwelling catheter would be a lower-priority intervention.

Answer to Question 2

1,5
Rationale: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that is spread by blood and serum, and may be life-long in nature
