Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Caution must be used to avoid dehumanization. The nurse should develop rapport and trust with the client before delving into personal matters, such as invasive diagnostic procedures and financial matters or procedures that may embarrass or threaten the individuality or privacy of the client, such as reviewing the client's condition and treatment plan with family members. This indicates to the client that the nurse sees the client as an individual and as an important person.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Vasodilation from heat application over a large area of the body may cause hypotension (low blood pressure). All clients should be monitored closely and assisted when rising. The respirations, pulse, and temperature fall within normal ranges.
