Answer to Question 1

C
Burns are medically treated with a prolonged, 15- to 20-minute or longer tap-water flush immediately after burn exposure.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A visit to San Francisco, a city known for its many fine restaurants, certainly poses risks for a patient who must follow a restricted diet, and could even shorten Mr. P's life. His unhappiness with his current situation, however, probably makes it desirable for him to take that risk. Even in San Francisco, it may be possible for him to eat sensibly, and in any case he is likely to be much happier than he is now. He needs to decide whether his quality of life will improve enough to risk any dangers. A nurse or social worker should help with setting up the dialysis arrangements ahead of time and with giving him any available information about restaurants, medical centers, and other places he may need to know about.
