Question 1 of 5
A 45-year-old patient who is a professional singer reports progressive hoarseness for the last four weeks. The hoarseness began after a three-hour performance.

Question 2 of 5

Rationale: The given statements indicate the expected outcomes for a client after a mastectomy. 'Incision site approximated' means that the edges of the incision are close together, indicating proper healing. 'Absence of drainage or prolonged erythema at incision site' means that there is no discharge or prolonged redness, which are signs of infection or inflammation. 'Client remains afebrile' means that the client does not have a fever, indicating absence of infection. These statements describe the expected results of the nursing care and treatment provided to the client. Therefore, the correct answer is Expected outcomes.
Question 3 of 5
When developing a nursing care plan for a client with a fractured right tibia, the nurse includes in the plan of care independent nursing interventions, including:

Elevation is also appropriate, but the phrasing '5 inches above the heart' is incomplete and unclear; A is the most complete option provided.
