Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Transfusions are used to restore intravascular volume with whole blood or albumin, to restore the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood with RBCs, and to provide clotting factors and/or platelets. Although increasing blood volume may increase blood pressure, increasing blood pressure is not a primary objective of transfusion.

Answer to Question 2

A
A. The aortic area is at the second intercostal space on the client's right.
B. The pulmonic area is at the second intercostal space on left.
C. The second pulmonic area is found by moving down left side of sternum to the third intercostal space, also referred to as Erb's point.
D. The tricuspid area is located at the fourth left intercostal space along the sternum.
