Answer to Question 1

flotation pad
A flotation pad is made of a silicone or polyvinyl chloride gel enclosed in a vinyl-covered square. The pad serves as an artificial layer of fat to protect bony surfaces such as the sacrum and the greater trochanters. These flotation pads are available for the bed or for wheelchair patients.

Answer to Question 2

A
Provide the patient with an allergy arm band listing allergies to foods, drugs, latex, or other substances; document allergies according to hospital policy. Postpone routine admission procedures only if the patient is having acute physical problems. Smoking is prohibited throughout the hospital, and family or friends can remain if the patient wishes to have them assist with changing into a hospital gown or pajamas.
