Correct answer: A

Rationale:

2. The nurse is most concerned about which of these findings in a client with systemic lupus erythematous?

Correct answer: D

Rationale:

3. The provider orders the client to be placed in a high-Fowler's position. At what angle will the nurse position the client?

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 90 degrees. In a high-Fowler's position, the client's head of the bed is raised to a 90-degree angle. This positioning helps improve breathing and facilitates eating and talking. Choice A, 15 degrees, is incorrect as it is not high enough to be considered a high-Fowler's position. Choice B, 0 degrees, is incorrect as it represents a flat or supine position. Choice D, 30 degrees, is also incorrect as it does not meet the criteria for a high-Fowler's position.

Correct answer: A

Rationale:
