Answer to Question 1

B
You use evaluative measures to determine whether patients have met their goals and outcomes. Evaluative measures are not multiple-page documents, and they are used to assess the patient's status, not the nurse's performance. Evaluative measures are not used when you are completing an incident report.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Ideally the patient's position provides good access to the operative site, sustains adequate circulatory and respiratory function, and ensures patient safety and skin integrity. It should not impair neuromuscular structures. Warmth and comfort are always concerns, but the other options are more important because they relate to positioning. Positioning does not support the use of equipment, rather the use of equipment complements the position of the patient to maintain patient safety.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
