Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Pin care includes using a new gauze pad over each pin; removing any crust from around the pin site; removing drainage from pin site; applying a clean, dry dressing; monitoring for redness, swelling, purulent drainage or pain; and reporting an increase in fever to 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer to Question 2

B
Lyme disease, a spirochetal infection carried by deer ticks, initially creates a red spot that starts at the point of the tick bite and then expands; headache, fever, pain, and stiff neck may also be present. If the disease is untreated, the client develops arthritis, fatigue, and neurological abnormalities.
