Answer to Question 1

B
Circadian rhythms are those rhythms that occur on a daily basis. Ultradian rhythms occur much shorter than daily. Infradian rhythms last a month or more. Circannual rhythms require approximately one year to complete the cycle.

Answer to Question 2

1. Hold pressure on the wound for approximately five minutes

Rationale:
The most important task for the nurse is to prevent bleeding after the biopsy. Holding pressure on the wound for five minutes is effective. Dealing with the specimen is accomplished by a third party or after the nurse stabilizes the client. An explanation of the test is performed before the procedure is begun. Cleaning the area is completed after the client is stable and the specimen is sent to the laboratory.
