Explanation

It is normal for the client to have a warm sensation when dye is injected. Other choices in the question indicates that the nurse believes that the hot feeling is abnormal, so they are incorrect.

Explanation

Submit
17. The nurse is discussing meal planning with the mother of a 2-year-old toddler. Which of the following statements, if made by the mother, would require a need for further instruction? 

Explanation

24. Which instruction should be given to the client who is fitted for a behind-the-ear hearing aid?
