Answer to Question 1

C
Petechiae appear as tiny, pinpoint-sized, red or purple spots on the skin caused by small hemorrhages in the skin layers and may indicate a blood-clotting disorder, a drug reaction, or liver disease. Bluish-black patches are more indicative of malignant melanoma. With reduced turgor, the skin remains suspended or tented for a few seconds before slowly returning to place. This indicates decreased elasticity and possible dehydration. Large areas of raised, irritated skin are not characteristic of petechiae.

Answer to Question 2

individualized to meet the patient's needs
Standardized care plans must be individualized for each patient. Most standardized care plans allow for the addition of specific patient outcomes and target dates for achievement of these outcomes.
