Answer to Question 1

3
The client is at a greater risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) because of the pooling of blood in the lower extremities. The client is at risk for skin breakdown, sweating, and infection; however, the risk for a DVT is a priority during the shock phase.

Answer to Question 2

4
Once one STI is diagnosed, an individual is more likely to have an infection with another STI. The person should be tested for all STIs. The other choices would be appropriate for the nurse to instruct regarding STIs.
