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.
