Answer to Question 1

D
D. Place bedpan under warm, running water for few seconds, then dry.
A. Raise client's head 30 to 60 degrees.
B. If client has had total hip replacement, the abduction pillow placed between the legs to prevent dislocation of the new joint must remain in place. Use a fracture pan.
C. Shoving the bedpan under the client increases the risk of friction injury to the underlying skin and tissues.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse supports the patient physically and emotionally while the physician or an advanced practice nurse (APN) removes the dressing and clips the sutures. A physician or an APN prepares an occlusive dressing of petroleum gauze on a pressure dressing, sets it aside on a sterile field, and applies sterile gloves; removes the dressing and clips the sutures; and pulls out the chest tube.
