1. A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching about wound care with a family member
of a client who is postoperative. Which of the following should the nurse include in
the teaching?

discomfort.)

member to irrigate the wound with 0.9% sodium chloride.)
c) Cleanse the wound with a cotton-tipped applicator.(The nurse should remind the
family member to avoid using a cotton-tipped applicator to cleanse the wound
because the fibers can become embedded in the wound, cause infection, and delay
wound healing.)
d) Report purulent drainage to the provider.(The nurse should remind the family
member to report signs of infection, including purulent drainage.)
2. A nurse is caring for a client who has bacterial meningitis. Upon monitoring the
client, which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

neck, is a manifestation of meningitis.)

posture with shuffling gait is a manifestation of Parkinson's disease, not a
manifestation of meningitis.)
