Answer to Question 1

C
During the inflammatory phase, moderate to large volumes of exudate are typically produced. The proliferative phase is the rebuilding phase. The maturation phase is the remodeling phase. This is not a refraction phase of wound healing.

Answer to Question 2

3. The client asks the nurse if she has cancer.

Rationale:
In primary appraisal, the client assesses the potential for benefit, harm, loss, threat, or challenge in a situation. The client asking the nurse if she has cancer is engaging in a primary appraisal. The client holding her breath while the nurse is talking is evaluating coping resources and options. This is a secondary appraisal. The client who sits in the dressing room and cries is applying a coping resource. This is coping. The client who schedules the procedure at the earliest possible appointment is engaging in reappraisal, which is an ongoing reinterpretation of the situation based on new information.
