Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
When assessing an obese client, a larger blood pressure cuff will likely be needed in order to prevent false high readings. It is not in the nurse's scope of practice to determine when and if cholesterol levels and an ECG are ordered. Diet education may or may not be warranted depending on the cause of the obesity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The assessment of a child often involves parental assistance.
