Answer to Question 1

B
Give special attention to any urgent needs the infection creates. For example, if the patient's infection becomes systemic, a nurse will need to manage fever and prevent dehydration. Once the infection begins to resolve and vital signs are stable, then the priorities are hygiene, patient education, and emotional support.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
A complete assessment examines structure or locale, population or people, and social systems. The principles of public health practice aim at achieving a healthy environment in which all individuals may live. Environment and vital signs are not components of a community assessment.
