Answer to Question 1

D
Before delivering an intervention, the nurse prepares the necessary supplies and decides on the time and provider of care.
The nurse is not seeking assistance at this time.
The nurse is not providing direct nursing care at this time.
The nurse is not preparing a client for a procedure at this time.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nursing actions that control for adverse reactions reduce or counteract the reaction, such as ad-ministering an antihistamine after an allergic reaction to a medication.
Examples of physical care techniques include turning and positioning, administering medications, and providing comfort measures. These techniques involve the safe and competent administration of nursing skills or procedures.
Assisting with activities of daily living (ADLs) is a direct care measure with which the nurse provides the client with assistance in activities that are usually performed in the course of a nor-mal day, such as eating, bathing, dressing, grooming, and ambulating.
Preparing for special procedures is a direct care measure involving physical care techniques and possible teaching.
