Answer to Question 1

B
To assess consistency, contour, moisture, position, and texture, the nurse should use the pads of his or her fingers.
The nurse may use the dorsum of his or her hand to detect skin temperature, not to assess the client's glands.
The palmar surface of the hand is not used to assess the client's glands.
The nurse should not use a fingertip grasp of the tissue when assessing a client's glands.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Drug calculations are not most precise when made on the basis of a child's weight. Height and weight do not always correlate with the maturity of the child's organs, such as the liver, for metabolizing a drug.
B Drug calculations are not most precise when made on the basis of a child's height.
C Drug calculations are not most precise when made on the basis of a child's age. Children vary widely in size and maturity for chronological age.
D The most accurate method of calculating pediatric doses is based on a child's body surface area.
