Question 3 of 5
which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as an expected finding?

It typically closes by 18-24 months. The posterior fontanel closing by 2-3 months makes choice B incorrect.
Choice C, sunken anterior fontanel, indicates dehydration, while choice D, bulging anterior fontanel, can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, both of which are abnormal findings.

Question 5 of 5
Which of the following clients should the nurse instruct the AP to report to the nurse?

Rationale: The correct answer is D. A blood pressure of 88/52 mmHg is considered hypotensive and requires immediate attention. The nurse should instruct the AP to report this client to the nurse promptly for further assessment and intervention to prevent potential complications such as shock.
Choice A is incorrect because not receiving compression stockings, while important, does not pose an immediate threat to the client's health.
Choice B is incorrect as assisting a client to the restroom is within the scope of the AP's duties and does not require immediate attention from the nurse.
Choice C is incorrect as eating only 50% of a meal does not indicate an urgent issue that needs to be reported to the nurse.
