Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
When assessing a client who may have an infection, the nurse should gather information about the client's general appearance; vital signs; symptoms, including the length of time the client has been experiencing them; and any self-remedies used. In addition, the nurse should review the results of any laboratory and diagnostic tests.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, E
Feedback:
Sulfonamides may inhibit the hepatic metabolism of the oral hypoglycemic drugs tolbutamide (Orinase) and chlorpropamide (Diabinese). Elderly clients may be especially sensitive to this reaction. Lisinopril, simvastatin, and losartan are used for cardiac conditions.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
