Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Continuity of care can be fostered by providing detailed and timely communication between different individuals who contribute to a client's care. Maximizing the number of people who contribute to a client's care is likely to reduce rather than enhance continuity of care. Client education is beneficial to care, but does not necessarily provide continuity of care.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
A potential for disuse syndrome necessitates a comprehensive assessment that includes such elements as cognition, skin integrity, mobility, and bowel elimination. Temperature and blood pressure may be relevant but they are less directly related to the signs and symptoms of this syndrome.
