B) ,,Hearing ,,air ,,pass ,,in ,,the ,,stomach ,,after ,,injecting ,,air ,,into ,,the ,,tubing. ,,

D) ,,Checking ,,the ,,remaining ,,length ,,of ,,tubing ,,to ,,ensure ,,that ,,the ,,correct ,,length ,,was ,,inserted. ,,-
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,correct ,,answers-C) ,,Examining ,,a ,,chest ,,x-ray ,,obtained ,,after ,,the ,,tubing ,,was ,,inserted
g g g g g g g g g g g g




Both ,,(A ,,and ,,B) ,,are ,,methods ,,used ,,to ,,determine ,,proper ,,placement ,,of ,,the ,,NG ,,tubing. ,,However,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,the ,,best ,,indicator ,,that ,,the ,,tubing ,,is ,,properly ,,placed ,,is ,,(C). ,,(D) ,,is ,,not ,,an ,,indicator ,,of ,,proper
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,placement

When ,,assisting ,,an ,,82-year-old ,,client ,,to ,,ambulate, ,,it ,,is ,,important ,,for ,,the ,,nurse ,,to ,,realize ,,that
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,the ,,center ,,of ,,gravity ,,for ,,an ,,elderly ,,person ,,is ,,the ,,
g g g g g g g g g g g




A) ,,Arms. ,,
g g




B) ,,Upper ,,torso. ,,
g g g




C) ,,Head. ,,
g g




D) ,,Feet ,,- ,,correct ,,answers-B) ,,Upper ,,torso
g g g g g g

,The ,,center ,,of ,,gravity ,,for ,,adults ,,is ,,the ,,hips. ,,However, ,,as ,,the ,,person ,,grows ,,older, ,,a ,,stooped
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,posture ,,is ,,common ,,because ,,of ,,the ,,changes ,,from ,,osteoporosis ,,and ,,normal ,,bone ,,degeneration,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,and ,,the ,,knees, ,,hips, ,,and ,,elbows ,,flex. ,,This ,,stooped ,,posture ,,results ,,in ,,the ,,upper ,,torso ,,(B)
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,becoming ,,the ,,center ,,of ,,gravity ,,for ,,older ,,persons. ,,Although ,,(A) ,,is ,,a ,,part, ,,or ,,an ,,extension ,,of
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,the ,,upper ,,torso, ,,this ,,is ,,not ,,the ,,best ,,and ,,most ,,complete ,,answer.
g g g g g g g g g g g g

g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,the ,,elbows
g g




Gloved ,,hands ,,held ,,below ,,waist ,,level ,,are ,,considered ,,unsterile ,,(C). ,,(A ,,and ,,B) ,,are ,,not ,,essential
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,to ,,maintaining ,,asepsis. ,,While ,,it ,,may ,,be ,,helpful ,,to ,,put ,,the ,,glove ,,on ,,the ,,dominant ,,hand ,,first,
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,it ,,is ,,not ,,necessary ,,to ,,ensure ,,asepsis ,,(D).
g g g g g g g g




An ,,adult ,,male ,,client ,,with ,,a ,,history ,,of ,,hypertension ,,tells ,,the ,,nurse ,,that ,,he ,,is ,,tired ,,of ,,taking
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,antihypertensive ,,medications ,,and ,,is ,,going ,,to ,,try ,,spiritual ,,meditation ,,instead. ,,What ,,should ,,be
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,the ,,nurse's ,,first ,,response? ,,

g g g g g g g g g g g g




The ,,prolonged ,,practice ,,of ,,meditation ,,may ,,lead ,,to ,,a ,,reduced ,,need ,,for ,,antihypertensive
g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,medications. ,,However, ,,the ,,medications ,,must ,,be ,,continued ,,(A) ,,while ,,the ,,physiologic ,,response
g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,to ,,meditation ,,is ,,monitored. ,,(B) ,,is ,,not ,,as ,,important ,,as ,,continuing ,,the ,,medication. ,,The
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,healthcare ,,provider ,,should ,,be ,,informed, ,,but ,,permission ,,is ,,not ,,required ,,to ,,meditate ,,(C).
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,Although ,,it ,,is ,,true ,,that ,,this ,,complimentary ,,therapy ,,might ,,be ,,effective ,,(D), ,,it ,,is ,,essential ,,that
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g

,g ,,the ,,client ,,continue ,,with ,,antihypertensive ,,medications ,,until ,,the ,,effect ,,of ,,meditation ,,can ,,be

g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,considered ,,secondary ,,sources ,,about ,,the ,,client's ,,health ,,history, ,,but ,,other ,,details, ,,such ,,as
g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,subjective ,,data, ,,can ,,only ,,be ,,provided ,,directly ,,from ,,the ,,client.
g g g g g g g g g g

g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,important ,,diet ,,modification ,,for ,,lowering ,,cholesterol. ,,To ,,be ,,effective ,,in ,,reducing ,,cholesterol,
g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,the ,,client ,,should ,,exercise ,,30 ,,minutes ,,per ,,day, ,,or ,,at ,,least ,,4 ,,to ,,6 ,,times ,,per ,,week ,,(A). ,,Red
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,meat ,,and ,,all ,,proteins ,,do ,,not ,,need ,,to ,,be ,,eliminated ,,(B) ,,to ,,lower ,,cholesterol, ,,but ,,should ,,be
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,restricted ,,to ,,lean ,,cuts ,,of ,,red ,,meat ,,and ,,smaller ,,portions ,,(2-ounce ,,servings). ,,The ,,low ,,density
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g




,,lipoproteins ,,(D) ,,need ,,to ,,decrease ,,rather ,,than ,,increase
