Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is on bedrest and is experiencing constipation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client for orthostatic hypotension. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Rationale: Baseline supine BP is taken first to compare with sitting and standing readings for orthostatic changes. Other steps follow.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a Penrose drain. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
