Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2, 4, 5, 6
Teach clients risk factors for heatstroke: strenuous exercise in hot, humid weather; tight-fitting clothing in hot environments; exercising in poorly ventilated areas; sudden exposures to hot cli-mates; poor fluid intake before, during, and after exercise. When paying close attention to avoiding risk factors for heatstroke, the remaining options are not required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 6
Identifying an acceptable pulse oximeter probe site is difficult with older adults because of the likelihood of peripheral vascular disease, decreased cardiac output, cold-induced vasocon-striction, and anemia. It would be inappropriate to assume that the process is made more difficult because of the remaining options because they are not seen in the majority of the elderly popula-tion.
