Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse is taking care of a client with dehiscence in which wound edges separate. Hypoxemia develops when there is inadequate oxygenation of blood. Evisceration occurs when there is protrusion of abdominal organs through a separated wound. A client has shock when there is inadequate blood flow.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Beginning the session with a reference to the client's actual experience will help provide a link to which the new learning can connect. Written materials may or may not be effective for the client. The nurse should not focus on the consequences of inadequate learning. Talking to the client's relatives and getting a detailed client history help the nurse to know more about the client but are not the most appropriate methods to connect new learning.
