Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Deficient Knowledge deals with injury prevention. A client who is already prone to falls may not have the cognitive ability for a knowledge deficient.
Rationale 2: Risk for Injury is a state in which the individual is at risk as a result of environmental conditions like a fall.
Rationale 3: Risk for Disuse Syndrome is a deterioration of body system as the result of prescribed or unavoidable musculoskeletal inactivity.
Rationale 4: Risk for Suffocation is inadequate air available for inhalation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Banging into objects is what a toddler would be likely to do, not an expectant mother.
Rationale 2: Bicycle rides and recreational activities would be good for the developing fetus; the mother should stay as active as possible during the pregnancy. Physical activity promotes good health.
Rationale 3: Physical activity promotes good health.
Rationale 4: Exposure to x-rays in the first trimester could cause harm to the developing fetus.
