Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: When performing an eye examination, the nurse will need a penlight.
Rationale 2: When performing an eye examination, the nurse will need a Snellen's chart.
Rationale 3: Sterile gloves are not needed to perform an eye assessment.
Rationale 4: When performing an eye examination, the nurse will need a gauze square.
Rationale 5: When performing an eye examination, the nurse will need a millimeter ruler.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: In some older clients, arteries may be palpated more easily because of the loss of supportive surrounding tissues.
Rationale 2: The most distal pulses of the lower extremities are more difficult to palpate, not easier to palpate, because of decreased arterial perfusion.
Rationale 3: The number of varicosities increases in the older client.
Rationale 4: The systolic blood pressure might increase.
