Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Providing competent care is one of the values in the CNA Code of Ethics that nurses have to uphold.
B Formation of interpersonal relationships is not an ethical responsibility.
C Application of the nursing process is not an ethical responsibility.
D Evaluation of new computerized technologies is not an ethical responsibility.

Answer to Question 2

A
An IV site that is puffy, swollen, and cool to the touch indicates infiltration. The IV site should be discontinued immediately because it is no longer a viable access point. Pulling back on the syringe will not result in fluid return because there is no longer venous access. A new IV should be started in the opposite arm after the old IV has been removed. The IV should be removed; it is not sufficient to only stop the fluids.
