Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should change the client's position every 2 hours and inspect pressure sites for skin breakdown. The nurse need not change linens every hour. Once the client's condition improves, then encouraging ambulation with assistance and exercises would be appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to avoid alcohol or other CNS depressants when taking a drug for muscle spasms and cramping. The nurse should instruct clients taking drugs for osteoporosis to take them with 6 to 8 ounces of water and to stay upright for 30 minutes after taking drugs. The nurse should instruct clients with gout to take drugs for treating gout with food.
