Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale: In this clinical scenario, the pH is likely to be above 7.45.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse prepares the room by making sure all necessary equipment is available and then puts blankets in the room in case the client becomes chilled while waiting for physician to arrive. 80F would be an excessive temperature, making other clients uncomfortable. Bright lights would not be turned on until the physician arrives to perform the exam, and towels on the floor would increase the risk of the client's slipping.
