Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Failure to inject a medication correctly will result in complications such as an inappropriate drug response (e.g., too rapid, too slow), nerve injury with associated pain or paralysis, localized bleeding, tissue necrosis, and sterile abscess. Administration of an IV push medication too quickly can cause death.

Answer to Question 2

C
C. These maneuvers assist with airway clearance of mucus in clients with retained tracheobronchial secretions. Secretions accumulate in patients with bronchitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and bronchiectasis.
A and B. Steroid medications, age, and malnutrition increase the client's risk of pathological rib fractures and often contraindicate rib shaking.
D. Know the client's normal range of vital signs. Conditions such as atelectasis and pneumonia requiring CPT can affect a client's vital signs. The degree of change is related to the level of hypoxia, overall cardiopulmonary status, and tolerance to the procedure.
