Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The priority of the nurse is to ventilate the patient manually using an Ambu bag-valve-mask unit. This allows air to be forced into the patient's lungs when there are no spontaneous respirations. The non-rebreather mask and nasal cannula require the patient to breathe on his own. CPAP is used for patients who are awake, oriented, and in respiratory failure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, F
Postoperative splinting is done by supporting the abdominal and chest muscles to minimize the pain of coughing and deep breathing after surgery. Patients who have just had heart or abdominal surgery will benefit from splinting. The other surgical procedures do not affect the chest or abdomen, and these patients would not benefit from teaching about splinting.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
