Answer to Question 1

C
In the primary nursing model, the professional nurse assumes full responsibility for total patient care for a small number of patients. Although care may be delegated to nurse associates for shifts when the primary nurse is not in attendance, the primary nurse maintains responsibility for total patient care 24 hours a day.

Answer to Question 2

A
Contusions are bruises of the soft tissue with no break in the skin surface. A strain is a stretch injury involving the muscles, tendons, or ligaments. A sprain involves tearing of muscle fibers, tendons, or ligaments around a joint. Dehiscense refers to the splitting of a surgical wound.
