Answer to Question 1

D
D. Normal sounds S1 and S2 are high pitched and best heard with the diaphragm.
A. If heart rate is irregular, or client is receiving cardiovascular medication, count for 1 minute (60 seconds). Regular occurrence of dysrhythmia within 1 minute may indicate inefficient contraction of heart and alteration in cardiac output.
B. If heart rate is irregular, or client is receiving cardiovascular medication, count for 1 minute (60 seconds).
C. If unable to palpate the PMI, reposition client on left side. In the presence of serious heart disease, the PMI may be located to the left of the MCL or at the sixth ICS.

Answer to Question 2

A
A, C, and D. If areas of redness appear from tape, then paper tape or alternatives such as elastic bandage, Kerlix, or a binder may be used to secure dressing. Sometimes strips of a hydrocolloid dressing are placed on the skin under the Montgomery ties to further protect the skin.
B. Gauze is not contraindicated in cases of redness.

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.
