A family is experiencing changes in their lifestyle in many ways. The invalid grandmother has moved in with them.

In applying systems theory to this family, it is important for the nurse to remember which of the following principles?

Question 4 of 5
Which play activity is best suited to the gross motor skills of a toddler?

Question 5 of 5
A physician tells the nurse that he wants to orally intubate a client with a No. 8 endotracheal tube. The finding of normal breath sounds on the right side of the chest and diminished, distant breath sounds on the left side of the chest of a newly intubated client is probably due to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The right mainstem bronchus is most frequently intubated in error because the angle of the right mainstem bronchus is very small as compared with that of the left mainstem bronchus. Because ventilation is only occurring on the right side, the nurse would auscultate diminished and distant breath sounds on the left.
