Answer to Question 1

C
Clinical pathways measure outcomes of client care and are developed by multiple healthcare professionals. Each pathway outlines specific time lines for sequencing interventions and reflects interdisciplinary interventions. Clinical pathways are used in multiple settings and for clients throughout the life span. The steps of the nursing process are assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Cellulitis may follow an upper respiratory infection, sinusitis, otitis media, or a tooth abscess. The affected area is red, hot, tender, and indurated. Medication history is important, but the history of recent infections is more relevant to the diagnosis. Lymph nodes may be enlarged (lymphadenitis), but they are not mobile and are nontender. Lymphangitis may be seen, with red streaking of the surrounding area. An abnormal urinalysis result is not usually associated with cellulitis.
