Answer to Question 1

3. Healing may be delayed.

Rationale:
The client who does not have an inflammatory response to injury may have a chronic disease, such as diabetes, that interferes with phagocytosis due to impaired circulation; consequently, healing may be delayed. The client was seeing the nurse because of an injury to the leg. Bone tissue may have been damaged; in any case, there should be an inflammatory response to injury. Chronic inflammation may be the result of an infectious process that does not heal.

Answer to Question 2

C
The normal daily turnover of water is 4 of an adult's total body weight. Water is the most abundant nutrient in the body. Body water decreases as body fat increases. Body water decreases with aging.
