B) An inclination to test the water's temperature. C) Overall slower reaction time. D) Loss of elasticity of skin tissue. Answer: C 3 Explanation: A) The elderly and disabled individuals are at risk for scalding by hot bath water due to impaired sensation, slower reaction times, and decreased mobility. #1 is not correct. It is easier for the elderly to take a shower because they do not have to risk slipping and falling while getting in and out of a bathtub. #2 is not correct. The elderly can have a decrease in memory and forget to test the water temperature. #4 is not correct. Loss of skin elasticity is not a risk factor but could affect the severity.

There is no burn injury to the patient's skin. Lab results show the only abnormality as a CO level of 22%. Which intervention would the nurse expect to implement? A) Administer high- flow nebulizer treatment. B) Infuse a fluid bolus of lactated Ringer's solution. C) Begin a sodium bicarbonate drip. D) Give 100% oxygen by mask. 4 Answer: D Explanation: A) Carbon monoxide has a stronger affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does so it displaces oxygen as it binds with the hemoglobin. This impairs oxygen transport and tissue perfusion. The treatment is hi-gflhow 100% oxygen. If hyperbaric oxygen therapy is available, it should be used if the patient has a decreased level of consciousness. #1 is n correct. This treatment will only open airways but not displace the carbon monoxide. #2 is not correct. This treatment would be used for fluid resuscitation, not gas exchange treatment. #3 is not correct. A bicarbonate drip is only used for severe metabolic acidosi that is not responsive to other treatment.
