Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing a client who is scheduled for a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) the following day. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include about the test?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Sedation is used during a transesophageal echocardiogram to help patients tolerate the procedure, which involves passing a probe down the esophagus.

Question 2 of 5

The home care nurse has given instructions to a client who was recently discharged from the hospital regarding the care of their extremities due to peripheral arterial disease. The nurse determines that there is a need for further teaching if the client makes which statement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Raising legs above heart level reduces arterial blood flow in peripheral arterial disease, worsening symptoms. Proper foot care, including cutting toenails straight, wearing protective shoes, and daily inspections, is appropriate.
