Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

A
Determine the best site for blood pressure assessment. Avoid applying the cuff to an extremity when intravenous fluids are infusing, an arteriovenous shunt or fistula is present, or breast or axillary surgery has been performed on that side. The risks associated with invasive blood pressure monitoring require use in an intensive care setting.
