Rationale: The correct answer is C. By reducing fluid intake 2 hours before bedtime, the client can prevent nighttime awakenings to urinate, which promotes better sleep. Napping during the day (choice A) may interfere with nighttime sleep. Drinking caffeine (choice B) can disrupt sleep patterns.

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Eye contact, personal space, and touch are cultural variables that can influence healthcare interactions. These factors vary across cultures and can impact how individuals perceive communication and interactions. Choices A, C, and D include elements that are not specifically cultural variables affecting communication and interactions in the same way as eye contact, personal space, and touch.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is to discontinue the infusion. Pain, redness, and warmth at the IV site are signs of phlebitis, which is inflammation of the vein. Continuing the infusion can further irritate the vein and lead to complications. Increasing the IV flow rate would exacerbate the issue by delivering more irritants to the vein. Elevating the limb and applying a cold compress are not the appropriate interventions for phlebitis, as discontinuing the infusion is crucial to prevent further harm.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The ventrogluteal site is the preferred site for intramuscular injections to avoid injury to nerves or blood vessels. The deltoid site is commonly used for vaccines but has a higher risk of hitting the radial nerve. The rectus femoris site is not typically recommended for intramuscular injections. The dorsogluteal site is contraindicated due to the proximity to the sciatic nerve and major blood vessels.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Ensure the cane has a rubber tip.' This instruction is essential for safety as the rubber tip prevents slipping, providing stability.

Choice D is also incorrect as a cane is not only used on stairs but also for general support and mobility.
