Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse can promote comfort by encouraging the patient to wear loose-fitting nightwear and to void before bedtime. Have family members give a relaxing back rub. An extra blanket prevents chilling when trying to fall asleep. Coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate will cause a person to stay awake or awaken throughout the night.

Answer to Question 2

limit liability and offer legal immunity if a nurse helps at the scene of an accident

A nurse can also assist a minor in an emergency situation or at a sports event before obtaining the consent of a parent. Nurses, however, must only provide care that is consistent with their level of expertise.
