Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should use the term anasarca to describe the condition of the client. Petechiae are pinpoint flat round red spots under the surface of skin. Ecchymosis is the occurrence of purplish patches on the body. Diaphoresis is the term used to describe the condition of excessive sweating.
