Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5, 4

Rationale 1: When applying sequential compression devices, the nurse should first place the client in the dorsal recumbent or semi-Fowler's position.

Rationale 2: The second step is to place a sleeve under each leg with the opening at the knee.

Rationale 3: The third step is to wrap the sleeve securely around the leg, securing the Velcro tabs.

Rationale 4: The fifth step is to turn on the control unit and adjust the alarms and pressures as needed.

Rationale 5: The fourth step is to connect the sleeves to the control unit and adjust the pressure as needed.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Ineffective Tissue Perfusion is the diagnosis assigned when there is a decrease in oxygenation from failure to nourish tissues at the capillary level.
Rationale 2: Decreased Cardiac Output is the diagnosis assigned when there is inadequate blood pumped by the heart to meet the demands of the body.
Rationale 3: Activity Intolerance is the diagnosis assigned when the client does not have the energy for daily activities.
Rationale 4: Risk for Injury is the diagnosis assigned when the client has an increased chance of being injured.
