Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 5, 2, 6, 4, 1, 3
Rationale 1: Once the under dressing is removed, the nurse should assess the location, type, and odor of any wound drainage.
Rationale 2: The nurse should then remove the outer dressing.
Rationale 3: The nurse should then discard the under dressing in a moisture-proof bag and remove and discard the gloves.
Rationale 4: The nurse should next remove the under dressing.
Rationale 5: The nurse first should apply clean gloves.
Rationale 6: The nurse should place the soiled outer dressing in a moisture-proof bag.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The reduction of breath sounds could indicate the pooling of secretions in the lower lobes. The nurse should coach the client to deep-breathe and cough.
Rationale 2: Restricting fluids could cause the pulmonary secretions to thicken, making them more difficult for the client to cough and remove.
Rationale 3: Leg exercises will not improve breath sounds.
Rationale 4: Bed rest will not improve the client's breath sounds.
