Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A The radial pulse is not distal to the femoral artery.
B The ulnar pulse is not distal to the femoral artery.
C The brachial artery is not distal to the femoral artery.
D The nurse should assess peripheral pulses and capillary refill distal to the site of surgery. After surgery to the femoral artery, the nurse assesses posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis pulses. The nurse also compares pulses in the affected extremity with those in the nonaffected extremity.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Moisturizing lotions or creams should not be used, as they tend to clog pores and make the acne worse.
B The patient with acne should be taught to wash the hair and skin thoroughly each day with very warm water and soap to remove oil.
C Applying warm or cold soaks is a good measure for skin rashes, not acne.
D Adding moisture to the air with the use of a humidifier is an appropriate intervention for the patient with dry skin, not acne.
