Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A The thermometer should be held at the end opposite from the bulb.
B The thermometer should be covered with a plastic sheath when in use, and after use, the plastic sheath is discarded. If the thermometer requires cleaning, the patient should not use hot water, as it could cause the thermometer to break.
C When assessing a patient's axillary temperature with a glass thermometer, the thermometer should be left in place for five minutes.
D The parent, not the child, should hold the thermometer. A young patient may drop the thermometer, creating a mercury spill.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A A concept map is a visual representation of patient problems and interventions and is not an activity that directly helps students to see the other.
B The nursing process is not an activity that directly helps students to see the other.
C Reflective journal writing can help students learn to see the other when working with patients and families, even though the student has not had a similar experience.
D Resource allocation decisions do not help students to see the other.
