Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale: Studies have shown that patient satisfaction is higher with the use of PCA. The client feels that she has greater control over her pain relief and uses less medication for better pain control. Repositioning is important to prevent postoperative complications regardless of the type of analgesia administration. PCA pumps are not chosen to improve appetite, although that can be an additive effect of improved pain management.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: It is normal development for the fetus to have hair on the shoulders and back, called lanugo. As the premature neonate approaches full term, the hair will disappear. The hair will not change color, will not remain on the infant, and will not need to be dyed.
