A nurse is planning care for a client who has full-thickness burns on the lower extremities.
Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Clean the equipment in the client's room once per week.
Provide a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables for the client.
Limit visitation time for the client's children to 40 min per day.
Apply new gloves when alternating between wound care sites.
The Correct Answer is D
The nurse should apply new gloves when alternating between wound care sites.
This is to prevent cross-contamination and infection.
Choice A, cleaning the equipment in the client’s room once per week, is not an answer because it is not mentioned in the search results as an intervention for a client with full-thickness burns on the lower extremities.
Choice B, providing a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables for the client, is not an answer because it is not mentioned in the search results as an intervention for a client with full-thickness burns on the lower extremities.
Choice C, limiting visitation time for the client’s children to 40 min per day, is not an answer because it is not mentioned in the search results as an intervention for a client with full-thickness burns on the lower extremities.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
First-degree heart block is a type of atrioventricular (AV) block that involves the consistent prolongation of the PR interval (defined as >0.20 seconds) due to delayed conduction via the atrioventricular node.
This is seen on an ECG as a PR interval greater than 200 ms in length.
Choice B: Nondiscernible P waves are not an answer because it is not mentioned as a characteristic of first-degree heart block in my sources.
Choice C: More P waves than QRS complexes is not an answer because it is not mentioned as a characteristic of first-degree heart block in my sources.
Choice D: No correlation between P and QRS waves is not an answer because it is not mentioned as a characteristic of first-degree heart block in my sources.
Correct Answer is C
Explanation
A saw-tooth pattern with an atrial rate of 250 to 400/min is a characteristic finding on a cardiac rhythm strip of a client who has atrial flutter.
Choice A is incorrect because progressively longer PR durations are characteristic of a Mobitz type I second-degree AV block, not atrial flutter.
Choice B is incorrect because undetectable P waves are characteristic of atrial fibrillation, not atrial flutter.
Choice D is incorrect because absent PR intervals with a ventricular rate of 40 to 60/min are characteristic of third-degree AV block, not atrial flutter.
