Answer to Question 1

D
The most immediate priority concern for this patient is bleeding. The nurse should apply pressure to the site to prevent a hematoma. The patient would feel pressure and sharp brief pain during the aspiration, not afterward. The nurse can assess pulses in the leg and foot, although this assessment would be most appropriate if the procedure involved an arterial stick. The nurse should administer the ordered analgesic after hemostasis is obtained.

Answer to Question 2

C
Innate immunity is based on the genetic makeup of a particular species that allows that species to be immune to specific diseases without having had the infection themselves. An example is hu-mans don't get distemper, but dogs do. Humans do not get hoof-and-mouth disease, but cows do.
