Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The act of critical thinking requires gathering more information before reacting to the change in the client's status. Beginning implementations (administering oxygen, elevating the head of the bed, notifying the physician) without first gathering data can result in treatments that do not address the actual problem or could actually make the problem worse.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4
Rationale 1: Prevent the potential for restraint and harm by keeping a clear path to safety.
