,back slaps. Blind sweeps are not used as this action may push the object deeper into the

throat. The remaining steps are correct.

A.


5% Dextrose and water


B.


Normal saline


C.


Lactated Ringers solution


D.

,With the nurse's feet spread apart and knees aligned with the client's knees, stand and

pivot the client into the chair.


C.


Assist the client to a standing position by gently lifting upward, underneath the axillae.


D.


Stand beside the client, place the client's arms around the nurse's neck, and gently move

the client to the chair. - ANSWER✔✔-B


Rationale: Option B describes the correct positioning of the nurse and affords the nurse

a wide base of support while stabilizing the client's knees when assisting to a standing

position. The chair should be placed at a 45-degree angle to the bed, with the back of the

chair toward the head of the bed. Clients should never be lifted under the axillae; this

could damage nerves and strain the nurse's back. The client should be instructed to use

the arms of the chair and should never place his or her arms around the nurse's neck;

this places undue stress on the nurse's neck and back and increases the risk for a fall.


How many mL will the nurse document on the client's intake and output record from

the items listed? _____ mL


1200 mL water


4 ounce container of gelatin


8 ounces of orange juice

A.

C.


The client is placed in a prone position.


D.


The systolic reading is 20 mm Hg higher than the blood pressure in the client's arm. -

ANSWER✔✔-B


Rationale: When obtaining the blood pressure in the lower extremities, the popliteal

pulse is the site for auscultation when the blood pressure cuff is applied around the

thigh. The nurse should intervene with the UAP who has applied the cuff on the lower

leg. Option A ensures an accurate assessment, and option C provides the best access to
