Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, C, E

Any client will likely experience anxiety and impaired skin integrity related to the diagnosis of skin cancer. The client will not likely have compromised human dignity or a risk for acute confusion. Disturbed body image could be an issue if the lesion is large.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Insomnia is defined as an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep on most nights for over a month. The individual experiencing insomnia is at risk for daytime drowsiness and may experience problems with concentration and function. Insomnia is not a cause for liability; it is up to the nurse to make sure that hospitalized client are safe, but the client cannot be restricted from moving about. There is no evidence that insomnia leads to cardiac problems. There is no evidence that the resident client is demonstrating underlying problems.
