4. What is a negative effect of immobility on the cardiovascular system?

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Venous stasis is a negative effect of immobility on the cardiovascular system. Immobility can lead to blood pooling in the veins due to lack of movement, increasing the risk of blood clots. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because immobility does not lead to an increase in high density lipoprotein, circulation, or the pumping action of the heart.

5. What is the priority nursing diagnosis after surgery to repair a fracture?

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Risk for infection. After surgery to repair a fracture, the priority nursing diagnosis is to monitor for the risk of infection to promote proper healing. Infections can significantly delay the healing process and lead to further complications. Choices A, C, and D are not the priority immediately post-surgery. Disturbed body image, risk for impaired skin integrity, and acute pain may be concerns but are not the priority in the immediate post-operative period following fracture repair.
